I’m Back

It has been a while since I saw a Great Blue Heron around here. Teresa and I were hiking along the Miami River yesterday when I spotted this one flying over the river. He landed just down-river from where we were standing. These birds generally migrate, but a few of them will stick around for winter. Since I have not seen one for a couple months, I assume this one may have flew south, but not far, and had come back early. I could be wrong. It was exciting to see him (or her).

Bird in Paradise

This photo goes back many years .. I mean over 15 years. I took this photo during a stay at Grand Cayman Island. The beach at Grand Cayman are amazing, and the water so blue. We have often talked about going back, but getting there is not as easy as it should be. I didn’t get as much of the color as I would like in this photo. I had an old camera that just didn’t get the type of photos I am able to capture today. It’s still a fun photo.

Where Have You Been

We have seen a lot of male cardinals over the last 4 to 5 weeks, but I have not seen many females. The few I have seen have been impossible to photograph. I finally saw a couple and was able to capture this photograph. It was about 25ºF, and Teresa and I were both in the car. We had to stop ... and she didn’t take off. This was a special photo. Maybe she knew it.

A pair of doves

Teresa took this photo while these two Mourning Doves chowed down. I guess they found the corn to much to resist. It was funny, I took a photo fo the same two while they were in a nearby tree .. it was a bad photo. Great photo, dear!

Nature is everywhere

Teresa took this photograph of this field sparrow earlier this week. This was just before the big snowfall a couple nights ago. It was cold as the temperature was just above 0ºF. The hawk that I shared the photo of yesterday was not far from this very spot. We saw a field mouse scurry across the ground about 3 feet to the right of this sparrow. I guess this explains the hawks intense interest in this spot. Nature is everywhere.
