Springbrook Nature Center, Wednesday, May 2

Got up with the sun this morning & headed out to Springbrook Nature Center. No, that's not me in the picture. But having your own portable stool sure makes sense after walking around for several hours. One nice thing about Springbrook, however, is that they do have quite a few benches along the various paths. They come in handy not just for resting but also for waiting for the birds to get used to you; I am amazed how close the birds will come to you if you just sit still for a few minutes. Try it sometime! I'll be posting pictures from this morning later today.
