Whites Pond, Concord - May 29th

We just can't seem to get enough of this place!  Today we found the pilated wood pecker's nest.  They have 2 hungry babies and we enjoyed the hourly feedings!  Also saw a green heron on the hunt as well as the snake.  Some of the herons are looking like they might leave the nest soon.  The cacophony of the frog chorus was going on full volume and the light was gorgeous!

Enjoy!

The best days nearly always come in half days.  This one was no exception.  After a very successful owl hunt, we came home to work out where "Whites Pond" was located.  We got a fix, packed some more gear and a lunch and headed out.  We found it, got one of the 3 parking spaces and walked in.  We weren't there 3 minutes and the heavens opened.  Luckily John had the foresight to bring an umbrella.

We weren't daunted though.  We came back a few hours later to sunshine and had a marvelous hunt!  Here are a few of the images.

Enjoy!
