I went for a quick jaunt down by the river to see if I would be fortunate enough to see all the wildlife without worrying about keeping track of my dog. Not nearly as many birds were around this time, but still got to see some interesting wild life.
Got to see a red winged blackbird again today! I'm not sure if I saw a pair, or if it was one blackbird and one cowbird. The blackbird was hopping around on a partially submerged log, looking for bugs is my guess. They have such a pretty call, too. While watching him, I noticed all this crazy splashing on that pond and the pond on the other side. At first I thought maybe it was an otter or something outlandishly cool like that (because it appeared to be rolling over and splashing around), but after watching for a while one was finally close enough to tell that it was some sort of fish spawning. The guy next to me thought maybe carp but I have no idea. They were spawning like crazy!
On the way back, I saw some sort of large rodent. Possibly a beaver, but more than likely a nutria. I really couldn't see it that well, and I certainly couldn't see it's tail or I'd know for sure. :D
Noticed a sign today that said that this one area is a pond turtle nesting area. So maybe later we'll get to see some turtles! That would be awesome. Then when I was almost to my truck, I noticed a Canadian geese pair and was watching them and a mallard pair. Then across the pond I saw another geese pair surrounded by a ton of chicks! SO CUTE.
Saw Final Fantasy Advent Children at Suncoast for only $20, but they weren't open. Couldn't find it at Borders, but did find a Get Fuzzy collection (30% coupon! YAY!), His Dragon's Majest and some Naruto manga (sale!). Yay for books!
