We started with a walk down the Indigo Trail to the boardwalk at Ding this morning. We were treated to many yellow-crowned night herons starting to build their nests and getting amorous.
Teamwork wins out every time!
There’s almost always a couple of anhingas around. This female looks as if she is smiling at me.
The water was extremely still in the creek at the boardwalk and the sky was bright blue. My husband pointed out an anhinga reflection.
We saw a few green herons, too.
What are you looking at, lady?
Maybe if I look away, she will move along
Mama, I don’t like the mud. Can we go home now?
Ugh . . . mud
We were even treated to a Black-crowned Night Heron. It was hiding back in the trees. Every time I see one, I always have to comment that they are larger than I remember.
A pretty great blue heron was standing in the shade at the edge of the water, near the end of Wildlife Drive.
We made a stop by the beach to soak up some of the beautiful sunny, clear day.
A week ago, the hawk below was in a dead tree across from our yard. It was a dreary day, so the photo isn’t good, but he was a pretty hawk.
