Hyde Park Drainage Pond
It was a nice sunny day, high of 21 degrees.
As I was walking to the pond area, a very large, noisy flock of Canada Geese came flying in for landing. There had to be at least 75+. It looks to me they have been flying for awhile and were landing in for a rest. In a little while, the geese settled down. There was a lone Great Blue Heron and some Mallards. Killdeers were flying around and Ring-billed Gulls.
The only butterflies I saw were sulphurs. They were really flitting around and this is the only one I saw land. I didn't what to move too close. I really cropped this to see the markings on the butterfly.
