There's always an anhinga sitting in this spot.
Life imitating art.
Snowy egret flying in.
Another eastern phoebe.
Based on the short bill, I'm going with a Downy Woodpecker.
Boyd Hill Nature Preserve was pretty quiet on a recent Saturday morning. The few migrating birds I saw were high up in the trees and I couldn't get any shots of them. The eastern phoebe was the only one to get a little lower and sit for a portrait. I was a little disappointed that I didn't see any raccoons, otters or alligators there. I know there are tons of them that live there but they were being scarce that morning. It was a little bit cooler and very windy. I left the house with a jacket on but had it off after my first 30 minutes there. The weather here has been perfect. Anywhere from 70 - 80 degrees and a cool wind blowing. I love this time of year. When it's sunny and 70. Sorry all you folks up north already getting snow. It's time for a visit down south.
love the top anhinga, and the one sitting on the sculpture is just too cool!
ReplyDeleteNo reason at all to be disappointed I would say, I love the anhinga and woodpecker!
