Rain kept me away from Ding last weekend, but we were able to drive through today before the rain started. The chicks that we could see appear close to fledging the nest. The one below was alone in this nest.
The nest below is next to the Indigo Trail and appears to have 3 healthy chicks that will be fledging before too long.
This chick seemed intent on watching the water below.
The juvenile Green Heron below appears to have fledged the nest and was being very cautious.
I’ll caption the photos below as “What happens when you let your teenage daughter give you a haircut during the pandemic”
The juvenile Tri-Colored Heron below posed for several photos on the boardwalk on the Indigo Trail.
The Yellow-Crowned Night Heron below appears to be surveying his kingdom.
When you know you are the best looking of the bunch.
We saw many of the birds batting at the same mosquitoes that we were!
The Great White Egret is so pretty with its mating plumage.
This big guy below looks like a grumpy gus.
A friend and I drove through Ding a week ago during a light rain. The green iguana below was the only wildlife we saw. Well, except for the Jeep full of mosquitoes that we collected along the drive!
Back at home, this big lizard watched me closely from a tree.
