A Family Stroll

The family was out for a stroll. They did make a mess on the path. 💩

Just Out Here Floating

We saw several Mallards in the Miami River this week. It has been a while since we have photographed any ducks.

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?
