Ponds, what ponds?

It is getting dry on Witter Lane.

I made my "drive by" twice today. I saw cormorants (12), one Great Egret, 11 turtles, 7 shovelers (3 females/4 males), one Great Blue Heron, and heard the cry of a Belted Kingfisher. As I stopped to take a few photos I spied so many tiny flowers blooming I needed to get some photos. A few lady bugs showed up as did a slow grasshopper.

The only birds were at the Turtle Tank. The only water is in the two tanks before the turn.

Rain is supposed to be coming, but I'm not optimistic.

It's time to find some other spots.

Whatever the actual variety of woodsorrel I am always happy to see my vote for the "shamrock."

14 cormorants, 8 Great Egrets, at least 18 turtles, and a few ducks. I was there to re-photograph the woodsorrel when the cormorants flew and the egrets flew. It was amazing. One turtle had tried to cross the road and I was able to take some closer photos of it.
