The sun was about to rise on this early spring morning at Windsor, Ontario’s Blue Heron Park. The dawn sky had been incredible, as I got down into the tall grasses by the side of the pond. These remnant grasses, from the previous season, were still stretching to the sky, as another new day began.

I could not resist posting one more photo of a Female Goldfinch gathering fluff for her nest. The females are still hard at work even though it seems they have been doing it for weeks. They really must be creating the deluxe version of their nests this year :)

It will be a while before it is Easter, but Easterbear is already in the Netherlands. He visits a good friend: Ballet dancer Piggolina Ballerina.

PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:

How nice to see you again Easter Bear. It's been a year since we've spoken. You look good.

EASTER BEAR:

Thank you Piggolina. You're looking good too.

PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:

I'm just really busy you know. Soon I will have a ballet performance with the famous Scoutlova. I practise 6 hours every day.

EASTER BEAR:

Can you show some of your exercises?

PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:

I'll show you the splits.

EASTER BEAR:

Wow! How do you do that?

PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:

It's just stretch into splits

EASTER BEAR: (trying the splits....only half way)

Ouch....help Piggolina....I can't go any further.

PIGGOLINA BALLERINA:

Come...give me your paw....I'll pull you up.

Let's go for a drink...that seems more sensible to me.

EASTER BEAR:

I will never do this again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very satisfying stretch by this little urban fox. Seen in Hampshire, UK.

Cats have a gymnastic repertoire of stretching poses each with its unique charm and purpose.

Masters of non-verbal communication, the majority of their intra-species communication is non-verbal, and stretching is one of their subtle ways of expressing affection and strengthening the bond.

The Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa), seen here, is a dabbling duck found in much of Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and many islands in the southwestern Pacific. In New Zealand it is known as the Grey Duck.

I watched this duck at a distance for quite some time, mostly it rested with its bill tucked in its feathers. Then without warning it sprang into action, had a big stretch and promptly went back to sleep. My patience was rewarded with this and several similar shots.

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

This was the only chick that ventured out of the reeds yesterday. Mum was around and did feed it although it is now quite capable of feeding itself.
