Gray Wildlife Park - Gray, ME, USA

I'm not going to lie - I took some pictures of my chicks too and I'm lumping them in with this post. They're getting giant! They had to come out of their bucket because it was a nonstop chicken mosh pit in there. Silly dudes.

Now, all that aside - Maine weather is April is bizarre. I drove two hours west from Lincolnville to Gray and drove through 7 separate rainstorms, all varying in severity. Then, between each storm, were patches of blue sky, puffy clouds, and sunshine. Jesse and I stopped to pick Heather up and get lunch, and got caught in a downpour. In the time it took to drive 15 minutes to the wildlife park, the weather cleared again and we had high 40s and some sun.

It was absurd.

Pokey new flower babies!

Chickenfinger (my dad named this one. The names do not get more normal)

Chunk

APPLESAUCE! She's my chick.

Applesauce again.

Kid drool + glass = smudgy photo of an awesome animal.

The nose... the nose is so boop-able.

This peregrine falcon had such a personality.

I need to get better at manual focus...
