Memorial Day 2013

Memorial Day Parade

We had a great Memorial Day weekend.  On Friday, before heading up for the farm, we visited our prospective puppy Daisy and her litter-mates (and mother and grandmother) in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey.  We’re only about two weeks away from dog ownership, and Sarah could not be more excited.

This morning, Sarah marched in the Memorial Day parade in beautiful downtown Rhinebeck.

Burleighs & Regner

Jen’s parents visited for the weekend.

But perhaps you’re here for the bird photos?

Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

Here is one we’d not seen before: a rose-breasted grosbeak.

Bluebird

And here is our old friend, the bluebird.

Heron in Nest

After lunch today we walked down to the swamp to look in on the herons.

Back at the pond, this mallard seems very recently to have hatched seven ducklings.  Sarah was in aww.
