Here and There

I was out at Fanshawe Lake and walking along Thames River this week.  Feeling early signs of Spring...warmer temperatures and most of the snow has melted.  It was so nice to see two Eastern Bluebirds, one of my favorite birds.

Early migrants - Tundra Swans

It's always nice to see American Robins.

I saw 2 Muskrats on the ice on a nice sunny day early in the week.

I think this is a Red Fox.  I thought it might be a Coyote...a good size.  It was standing looking at me a distance away...I was getting my camera ready and it turned around and walked away.  I just got the back end.  It was a beautiful animal!
