The Kildeer - Three of them


At least three Kildeer birds are now hanging around the grass lawns on the other side of Route 55, on Apex Peakway, across the street from the WakeMed HealthPlex.

I searched the areas where they were wandering about, but didn't find a nest.

The Duck Family

Six vivacious ducklings, staying very close to Mom, one less than on an earlier visit.




As my dog wandered off the path towards them, the little ones peeped in alarm and scurried into the water.

The Lake is Full Again

After a week of rains, Beaver Creek Lake is full again. All the mud is covered.

From the Peakway parking lot entrance looking towards the Peakway Bridge - we could call it Beaver's Dam Bridge since that's where the Beaver's dam is, the water covers all the lake bottom now.


Across the Beaver's Bridge looking out towards the berm facing Route 55. The lake is full!


This morning, the geese were in the Peakway parking area eating grass.

Lakeside Gardens

One of a number of sunflowers!



Voluptuous blossoming bush and bench.


Two almost completely camouflaged morning doves on the lower landing of this deck. A fountain lies behind the greens.
