I took the big camera down our section of the Deschutes River Trail in hopes of shooting a few shots of the fuzzy yellow baby Canada Geese that I saw yesterday, likely on their very first outing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them. Spring is off and running, 10-14 days ahead of last year and well ahead of normal.
