Just throwing this down for giggles. As I was sitting down to do a few of the in situ shots of the last Estate Find, I heard a rustling in the taller grasses/weeds very close behind me. It wasn’t a deer as expected, and wasn’t showing above the grasses at all, but was easy enough to find. So while I was there, I shot a quick video clip.
That’s all – nothing elaborate, just taking the opportunity with an incidental find. I haven’t a decent idea where her nest might be, except “north-ish” and off of our property, so I’m not going looking for it. If the newborns take a direct route back to the pond when hatched, I shouldn’t have to worry about them when mowing, at least…
