FINALLY GOT THE JEEP BACK TODAY!

I wonder what will be the next problem with it.  They are still waiting for parts to fix the 4x4 system recall so we better not go anywhere that requires the use of extra traction.  Today's photos are from the past few days.

IT WAS TIME TO TAKE OUR LUNCH AND GO FOR A DRIVE.

American Goldfinch.

Female Red-winged Blackbird with lunch.

The four young herons are still in residence.



It's hard to see but one of the parents is standing in the nest having brought some food which produced a loud frenzy.

Off to gather more food.

Awaiting the next food drop.

A type of mustard.

There were lots of big juicy Saskatoons.

While strolling along the riverbank, this Blinded Sphinx Moth attached itself to my shorts.
