Standing Tall

We went on a butterfly walk yesterday with a group. It was lead by a real expert on nature from Miami County Park District. Near the end of the hike I totally missed this Green Heron but it was spotted by soneone in the group. Luck for me, he stayed in the same place long enough for me to get a decent photo. This is the 1st one we have seen this year.

All Alone

We don't usually see a Mallard all alone. Usually there is a pair. This one may not be healthy .. can't tell much from the photo.

Eclipse Plumage?

This male mallard is sporting eclipse plumage. He quicky when into the bush to hide.

A Little Water

I love this photo. I could crop it for a better frame but I like it as is. Have a great weekend.

The Falls .. Always Beautiful

There is a lot less water running over the falls than in some past photos, but it is still a beautiful sight.
