There was a chill in the air due to a cold front band going through, but it didn't dissuade some
from making an appearance, like the Little Blue Heron. I have never seen this bird at the lake,
but it is well within its range. Our ducks are still holding over, and a couple of breeding Great Egrets are in the area. There is much more to come, as migration is just beginning. There will be a lot
more to see, so dust off that copy of your birding guide, and get ready to travel in my wake.
I have been checking the "Field Guide to Birds" more since I started looking at your posts, Deb. Such beautiful photos. Love the Mallard pic and the Great Egrets, too. Of course the Bluebird is beautiful. All are lovely!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you like them, Peg. Today was much too gray to get out there, so I was stuck inside today. Ah, well. These things do happen.
