Ding and Apple Pond

Knowing how to strut your stuff and then doing it . . . Oh yeah!

This little spotted sandpiper was so cute with its breakfast. They bob their back end up and down constantly, whether they are standing still or walking around. It’s like they have their own internal music.

Skating through a Saturday be like . . .

We made a quick stop by Pond Apple Trail. There were a couple of Belted Kingfishers flying around chirping, but they were just too far away to get a good pic. We saw a few cormorants and anhingas.

I’ll caption the following photo of a cormorant and anhinga as:

“Could you do a mate a solid and see if my deodorant is working?”

We almost didn’t see the Great Blue Heron below. It was camouflaged very well. Not a great pic, but interesting how it was hiding.

Starting on Saturday evening last week, we had 12.35” of rain over the next 24 hours at our house. Yards and streets were flooded over the whole island. Some areas were worse than others. When the water receded, there were dead fish in the street and in our yard. The juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron below wanted his share of the fish in our yard.
