On the pontoon boat ride on the St. Croix River yesterday, there was an abundance of wildlife - especially eagles and double-crested cormorants. I had no idea we would see so many raptors and waterfowl. Needless to say, it was an inspiring and uplifting day!
When we booked the tickets to come to London, we did not know that it was during the time of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. We were able to see rehearsals for the parade that will happen later in the week.
We also went to St. James' Park and saw beautiful flowers and waterfowl. To close out the day, we saw the road of Tower Bridge be lifted to let boats pass.
The ducks and great blue herons are migrating north again and spending time in the pond.
This goose was one of many at Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield. Walking on the boardwalk across the lake afforded this close-up view.
