SPRING AT SAPSUCKERIn the early spring before real growth happens the woods are fairly open and few signs of green appear
Early creatures inhabit the shallow waters of the woodland ponds. I think this beast is a dragonfly larva, but I'm not sure. He sure is strange looking.
Reflections in the open ponds are quite dramatic and clear because plant and algae growth is minimal. Later in the summer duck weed, algae, cattails, waterlilies all intrude into the picture.
The new Stone Egg Sculpture at Sapsucker Woods is interesting. Luckily it is along a trail leading to the parking lot and doesn't intrude on the ambience of the bird sanctuary.

That is a really interesting sculpture!! Somehow, I think the birds will get used to it quickly enough.
This morning, I saw a small bird fighting with the rear view mirror of a van. He would fight, then rest, then fight some more. I took pity on him after a bit and moved closer so he could fly away and leave the intruder!
Beautiful photos, as always! That sculpture is an unexpected surprise...very interesting and I imagine seeing it for the first time would make you a double take...lol.
