Conor - yay! You'll love it!
Pauline, they were there when I got there. I was looking for the Eastern Towhee, and to see what waterfowl there were. I didn't see them until I had been there for a little while, since I couldn't really see them until I walked up to the closed sign on the bridge.
I am definitely going there soon.
Yep, there they are! Great pics! How long did you wait for them? Plus I'm surprised they didn't slither away!
It was amazing. At first, I thought there were two - the big one, and one little one. It was upon reviewing the first few pictures I could see the second little one's head behind the first one. I was then able to get other angles where they were both showing more clearly.
Cool! I've never gotten to see them on the bridge!
