MB Birds

Welcome Back!

This week I'm highlighting some more birds from the Huntington Beach State Park. They include the greater yellowlegs, egret and a heron. 

I've seen some of the birds returning already (or should I say finally) to the Napanee River, like the little bufflehead ducks and some swans too! Unfortunately it's calling for snow today, so I hope they have a place to take cover and that it doesn't last long.

Well, it looks like a quiet week here...so I guess I will get some job searching in and hopefully go to the gym. 

More later this week...

 

Egrets Pt. 2

This week I've included the last of my favourite Egret pictures from the Wacatee Zoo. They are so entertaining to watch, I could sit there for hours, but unfortunately, my family isn't as patient as I am! I'm normally not a patient person either, until I get my camera in hand!

Enjoy!

Have a great week!

Great Egrets!

Here are some photos of Great Egrets, taken at Wacatee Zoo. These guys are not part of their animal display...well, I guess they are, but they are from the wild and have taken up residence at the zoo. In the zoomed out photo you can see they make their nests here and there are 100s of them in this area! They are pretty cool to watch as they interact with each other and fly around, build nests, etc. etc.

I love the picture below of just it's behind (#5)..looks like a duster of some sort and then the one photo looks like he has some static cling going on(#9)!

Sorry for adding so many, but I have another 10 or so to add next week and I wanted to split them into 2 weeks, not three!

Enjoy! More next week!

Great EGRETS!!

Well, Ok, it's the same egret, only different views of him/her. We saw this one at Murrell's Inlet in Myrtle Beach on a beautiful, hot, sunny day. As you can see from the last two pictures, he was having pretty good luck with the fishing!

The body shape of this guy reminds me so much of the Great Blue Heron and when I "Wiki-ed" it, it said that they used to be called Great White Herons-- go figure!

Enjoy!
