Perched Old Man

This Great Blue Heron was in a tree overlooking one of the ponds at Garbry Big Woods. We watched him land in this tree, then move to another tree .. and then fly away. Teresa saw him eating someing right after landing so I guess it was dine in.

Not A Pond

This picture would lead you believing that these Blue-winged Teal are floating on a pond or lake. The reality is this is a floaded field and they seem to love it.

A Blue-Wing?

It was great to see these Blue-winged Teals in the pond at big woods this week.

So, where is the blue? It shows up when they are flying.

Pelicans On A Blue Sky

We drove up to Grand Lake St Marys this week to see what kind of birds we could find. It was not super productive. We did see a few eagles, and this pari of American White Pelican. They sure stand ou aginst the blue sky.

Intricate Plumage

This time it was a pair of Wood Ducks. The male has this amazing intricate plumage. It is spring and this pair must be on a date. 😂
