Made my first visit to Huntley Meadows Park this year. Found a lot of vegetation missing from previous years, but still enough for this nutria to have a hearty breakfast.

There was a good compliment of ducks and geese on the water, including this nice mallard.

While scanning the waters, I noticed a circling shadow which turned out to be an adult bald eagle surveying the area.

A little closer to the boardwalk and keeping an eye on me was this muddy American bullfrog.

As I was leaving the park, I noted that I hadn’t seen a Great Blue Heron this morning, the first time I have been at the park and not seen one. Not 30 seconds later, I spotted one among the trees and grabbed this shot before it took off.
