Lunch Hunt

This is more typical of the Great Blue Heron. This one is on the Miami River between Troy and Piqua, Ohio.

The river levels are lower and we have seen so many Great Blue Heron on recent hikes. We sure enjoy them.

In A Tree?

This Great Blue Heron was hanging out in this tree over the Stillwater River. I have observed this species in trees before, but normally there is a nest nearby. I have not found a nest in this area. I'll look again next time I am hiking there, but I love this photo.

Wisdom and Age

I really have no way to know, but I suspect this Mallard is older .. a little aged. When I think about getting older I hope there is some compensation for age. My dad sure seemed to get wiser as he aged. Now that I am the 'old' guy, I am not so sure. I sure don't feel old. Life is an amazing experience. Have an amazing day.

Fishing

It has been a while since we photographed a Great Blue Heron. We have seen a few but missed the photo. I was hiking alone on this day. I saw one in a pond and the other in the Great Miami River ... about ½ mile apart.

I saw this interswting link and thought I would share it: 10 Great Blue Heron Facts That Will Astonish You!. Enjoy
