Life at Prairie Bridges

 
Ma took a little time from her recent shopping trip to stop off at Prairie Bridges Park. This meant I had to forgo a trip to Goodwill, but sometimes grave sacrifices must be made in life.

First time I've ever seen female mallards at the park. Melinda figures the strange markings on the right-most male are that of a juvenile not quite finished with his color changeover.


Aside from the ducks and geese in the front pond, I saw no living thing. No juncos...blue jays...not even a lowly sparrow.

Paws across the water


I never noticed the thorns in summer


Even though authorities block off the roads during winter so that cars won't get stuck, snowmobile trails are evident and...hmmmm, it looks like a four-wheeler got in and drove across the ice...


Wow...some peoples went to a lot of trouble to set up a hockey rink.
I'm assuming they'll be taking those boards away before the ice thaws.

Geese...practicing line dancing, no doubt.
