Hunting the Horny Back Toad

Snowshoe hare

So long, May!  We hardly knew ye!

Yesterday morning, we got up early and drove to the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in BC to see some birds.

And we saw some!

Nothing exciting.  Just the usuals.

Canada Gosling

Marsh Wren 

Tree Swallow

Sandhill Crane

And for the first time ever, I got non-blurred pictures of a Wood Duck!

Oh, and we saw a ghost too!

We went on May Vacation earlier this week.

And we finally got to do what I've long wanted to do for May Vacation.

Happy May!

I'll rejoin Bloglandia soon.  (To update you on May Vacation at the least.)  But first, I've just gotta say . . .

. . . Oingo Boingo's "Not My Slave" is the best song ever!

Last Sunday, I was thinking of checking out a wildlife area in Snohomish County, but it was really raining pretty heavy so I thought maybe we could chance a visit to the Skagit Valley at the apex of the tulip season.  The rains had stopped by the time we got there, but I think we got the jump on most people.  Still, there were shitloads of people everywhere.

So I just took drive-by photos.

It was madness, I tells ya!

A beautiful, warm and sunny day yesterday.  We took a drive up north on Hwy 9 and then east on Hwy 20 to Rasar State Park.  Spring is coming along, though not as quickly as I'd like.

We went to Tokeland over the weekend.  It rained.  It stopped raining.  It rained some more.  It stopped.  It rained more.  Etc.  But it never stopped being gray.

On Saturday, we drove to the Long Beach peninsula, hoping to get a walk on Benson Beach and the North Jetty.  But the wind was fierce and freezing cold.

Instead we drove into Long Beach and I bought taffies.

On Sunday, we awoke to a beautiful morning.

So we came home.

The End.
