These birds are all getting hassled.

That’s all for today. Stay safe.

There were other birds and even a butterfly. It was a full menu morning at the boat launch today.

They both wanted that pole. There are at least six poles. Just like kids right?

Hope you enjoyed.

Another Eagle dive but this time he came up short.

Hope you enjoyed. The eagle is a mighty bird, beautiful even when he fails in the hunt.

Lots of action this morning, yay! This is Vic’s Eagle dive.

This was a successful dive. This time he caught a bluegill. They all aren’t.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

It was a Banner Day

We took so many pictures that day Vic is still digging out. Here’s what we want to show you today.

The colors and lighting are spectacular.

I looked down because I sensed movement and there was this beautiful butterfly!! In the dirt!! Notice it’s actually in flight!!

I think this one looks like a reddish egret but Vic says no it’s just the lighting.

These birds are fun to watch flying close to the water back and forth “skimming” for small fish.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

There was so much activity yesterday, enough for 3 or 4 posts. Then this morning nothing was going on. After 4 hours of shooting yesterday followed by 5 hours of editing Vic was exhausted. We went out to the landing in our golf cart this morning just to see what was going on.

These snail kite shots are not exactly a sequence but they are interesting to look at.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

There is a lot of joking around in between the action. This morning Tom said he was going to the restroom. As he was leaving he said tell me what I missed. It always seems like something great happens when you leave. When he came back Vic said oh you missed it. An Eagle and an Osprey had a fight over a fish. Tom smiles wryly like it figures. Vic continues then an Otter got in there and stole the fish!! We all had a good laugh over that ridiculous scenario.

Meanwhile, Vic got this sequence of the Swallowtail Kite.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

So much great stuff!! These are all mine so I had a heck of a morning!!

We were at the landing / boat launch with Tom and Beth. Paul has been stalking a screech owl nest some distance away.

Tom says it’s unusual that pelicans are still on the lake. We saw about 15 this morning.

This shot reminds me of an Olympic pole vaulter.

You can really see the stripes (bars) on his feathers. I’d love to find a feather for my hat.

I’m counting this shot in my top ten best shots ever.

Vic called them in. Then Tom and I positioned ourselves strategically and waited for the birds to fly around. It was so much fun!! To my daughters – I was standing next to the golf cart to give myself protection. I was not in danger. 😎

Stay safe! XO

We go out early in the morning, then retreat to the AC until late afternoon, then go out in the golf cart again for an hour or so. We got all this yesterday and Sunday. So our system is working!

I’m so happy about this turkey and her babies.

We saw the Spoonbill and the Stilt just off the “Point”. It’s a piece of land between two canals. The clubhouse is there along with a huge grassy area. The canal on one side is a marina where people dock their boats – pontoon boats and small fishing craft.

We saw this turtle in the canal.

We saw all this wildlife within a mile of our campground. I find that amazing.

Stay safe! XO
