On an early July visit to Oak Hammock Marsh I came across these three Willet chicks running down a gravel road. They were not able to fly as yet but the parent Willet was flying overhead keeping watch while I snapped a photo. I’ve only seen Willets a few times but it was especially nice to see the chicks on this visit.

Today, some wildflower photos taken this summer in Manitoba. Above is a Wood Lily which is commonly found along roadsides and forest edges. This lily was growing at Oak Hammock Marsh.
Below: Common Bladderwort. These grow in marshes with the green leafy mass of the plant being under the water and the flowering stem shoots up above water level. This was in a marsh in Nopiming Provincial Park.
Below: Northern Crane’s Bill. I found this one growing in a scrub forest area in the Whiteshell. The bloom on this plant has seen better days but it is still a pretty plant.
Enjoy!
