Last week of March

Well, the snow flew again and has covered the ground for a little longer here at Tifft. New birds are arriving everyday and to see which ones we have seen, check out the Tifft Nature Preserve Bird Sightings Blog. Here are some photos taken during our weekly Wellness Walk.


The resident chickadees are still begging for seeds as you walk by, but theyre on their own now!

Killdeer was spotted along Lake Kirsty! There were 4 there total along the bank near Service Rd.

Remnants or pieces of a beaver lodge? Along the far side of Beth Pond.

Ring-necked ducks swimming in Beth Pond.

This doe looks a little pregnant dont you think? Her belly is low and a little larger.

Cool ice designs around the red osier dogwood along Lisa Pond.

Can you spot the killdeer? That camoflauge works great!
