I always know when it’s spring - my allergies tell me so...
Steyn is a man for Spring and really all the four seasons!
I live on a lake, and the birds are in full blown mating mode. Chasing each other, forming pairs.
A female mallard was on the pond yesterday. She was paddling around, looking lost. Then, her male mallard arrived - and she went crazy with joy to see him, bobbing up and down, ducking under water, etc. Very cute.
A pair of Canada geese always hangs near my place in spring. For some reason this weekend, they got separated after a flight. The female was on the lake squwaking loudly, trying to find “him.” Very upset. They finally found each other after half an hour....
I have 2 swans, and also a bald eagle family that hang out here too...
