Daffodil Days

Celebrate Daffodils Days day at Blithewold Mansion, beginning April 6th. These are acres of daffodils, and you will need to adjust your camera to accommodate all the bright yellows. It's wonderful... you could spend a day walking there and still need more time... especially if you are a photographer!

Killdeer

Stay away from my eggs, camera guy! The killdeer is North America’s most well-known plover, although many people know the killdeer without understanding its family affiliation. The killdeer can be common around our salt marshes and other natural habitats.
