The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
Recently I was visiting one of St Pete's local wildlife refuges when I came upon a mom and dad Moorhen and their kids. So I stopped to watch for a while:
Mom, Dad, and four of the eight kids.
Dabbling for food.
"Can I have some?"
"Feed me !!! Feed me !!! Feed me !!!"
Splish-splash, I was taking a bath . . .
All together now . . . AWWWWWWWW !
And now it's your turn. Let us know what's going on in your neck of the woods. :)
