Even MORE Great Blue Heron Pics

Napanee, ON

 Welcome Back!

This week I have even more pics of the Great Blue Heron from the Napanee Conservation Area...You do remember I said he was a favourite of mine, don't you? Anyway, I am almost done the pics of him from this one visit! Not sure what will be up next..maybe I'll throw in some pics from our new home in Grand Manan, not pics of our house, but pics of the whales...Kevin went whale watching in August with my brother-in-law, who was here visiting and they got a bunch of great pics! I'll show them off soon!

Anyway, here are some of the great blue heron in the meantime...I'll have a few more next week and then something different!

Have a great week!

Welcome back!

This week I have more pics of one of my favourite birds....The Great Blue Heron. This guy is found a lot of the time at the bottom of the waterfalls at the Napanee Conservation Park from spring to late fall.

In most of these pics, he's doing his favourite past time--fishing for food! He must have really good eyes to be able to catch some of these little fish with the water swirling all around.

Well, Kevin started work this last week...yep, he got bored!...I'm looking, but haven't found anything yet. 

I'm still organizing things in my craft room and in the house, so we went to Saint John yesterday to pick up more organizers, etc. 

More heron shots next week. Have a great week!

More Great Blue Heron

Welcome back!

Sorry for the delay in posting, life got a bit busy for awhile.

After our trip down east, we put our house up for sale and it sold within a week! Yikes, so now what? We ended up making another trip down east in May to look at the houses available and found one and made an offer, so we've been busy getting ready to move, which we will do mid-July. I recently quit my job to focus on getting stuff packed and whatnot...

Anyway, things might be a bit calmer now that I am not working full time!

This week I have some more of the heron shots...these are some of my favourite...with the fish jumping into his open beak! That's a great way to catch them! :-) 

Have a great week! More next week hopefully!

Welcome Back! 

Well, we had an excellent holiday down east--perfect weather with no rain at all during the day compared to here, where I understand there was a couple of days of it! :-)

Last Sunday we picked up Brooke from University...she is done her BA and is off to Queen's in the fall for her Masters! 

This time I'm starting to highlight the heron, who is most often found at the bottom of the waterfall at the Napanee Conservation Area. I love shooting him--he's one of my favourite birds!

I have quite a few pics to highlight, so please bear with me!

On another note, I just realized I passed my Anniversary for this blog! I've been at this since April 28, 2008 -9 years---wow, I didn't ever think it would be this long-running when I started it, but I enjoy updating it and I hope you enjoy visiting it!

Anyway, have a great week!

Welcome Back!

This week I am highlighting pics of other things besides the waterfowl found at the Napanee Conservation Park! 

This was a beautiful spring day and we found wildflowers, lily pads, water lilies and a variety of turtles: painted and Blandings (I think). That's the one thing I love about this park, is the variety of wildlife. We almost always see turtles, sometimes they are close enough to get pics and other times, not so much. We also see a lot of fish in the fall, when they are spawning. We love to sit and watch them! And, my favourite bird, the heron is there quite a bit too...I'll have some pics of him next time I post!

Well, I likely won't be posting for the next couple of weeks as my much-needed holiday starts next weekend! Yay! I can't wait!

Have a great couple of weeks!
