The Common Birds of Haastrecht

The Cedar Journal April 19, 2021

Last week Friday I hiked a short section of the Floris V Pad (read that blog here), while I was busy hiking the Hubby found he had parked next to a Nature Sanctuary filled with all sorts of birds. This is a photographic selection of his adventure.

First, I think this was the most entertaining of his adventure.

Under attack!

He was asked several times by actual birders if he was finding anything special. I had to laugh, he is only an amateur, as he told them he was only capturing normal or common birds.
Here are some of those “common birds”.

Not sure of this ID but closest I could come was a Tureluur, *Tringa totanus*

Ahhh… much easier for this Minnesotan to ID! Canadian Geese, Canadese gans, *Branta canadensis*

This subspecies was very common at this location.

That adventure file is now empty. We are off on another adventure today. Product testing a new Kelty tent overnight at a local campground.

Until next time, travel safe and be adventurous.

Dutch Birds- Happy with Spring in February

The Cedar Journal February 27, 2019

With the arrival of what seems to be an early Spring here in The Netherlands, I have been outside with the camera trying to improve my skills. I captured some of these on my walk to the local pond. These birds are all acting like Spring is here to stay.

The Silent Swans of Friesland, NL

We normally see swans in pairs as they are placed in those largely romantic settings around castles.

The Summer of Dutch nature

The Cedar Journal October 15, 2018

This was a dry summer and our adventures are now well documented. The RV trailer is now safely back in storage. The canoe and kayaks are waiting for the next nice day to come out of the back garden and head out on an adventure.
