Fishing

From my vantage point, the Belted Kingfisher appeared remarkably small and difficult to spot. I managed to capture a few photos before he abruptly leaped off the branch and plunged into the pond. I’m not certain what he caught, but he swiftly ascended to a different branch. I intended to take another photo to observe his catch, but before I could, he flew away.

What Happens When It Snows?

This guy keeps showing up. When the snow arrives (it did) I bet we don't see him but we will find out this week.

Fishing: Bird Yoga?

This is a unique photo. I love seeing a Great Blue Heron but this one was really close and his location made it a difficult photo. Even getting a focus on him was difficult. I love how it turned out.

His Statue Pose

it has been a while since we photographed a Great Blue Heron. I saw this one flying a few minute before we found him at this pond. I love it.

Young Duck

This is a Muscovy Duck. I photographed her at Hartman Heimstytte Family Farms. This is where we get eggs.
