Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Marilynne]

Did I mention the TriColors were out in force yesterday?

This guy never shut his mouth the whole time I was there.

I had a fun time watching this momma and juvie TriColor Heron already in progress.

Not sure what this squirrel got in to, but it was going crazy!!

What a crazy series! Can only imagine what it looked like in real life! WOW!

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Pretzel. It was fun to watch, but I'm sure the squirrel didn't think it was funny.

18-200mm looks to work well for you.

 

[Marilynne]

I was surprised Ron. I think it worked since the wildlife was fairly close yesterday. There were some shots I didn't post that I wish I had the 300mm. I cropped a few and they weren't what I'm use to seeing.

Outside the entrance to Wako is a Monk Parakeet nest. It wasn't a nice day. We did manage to out pedal the rain every where we went.

These look washed out to me.

Trimmed in camera

 

[Marilynne]

This probably should be in the Almost thread, but I liked the other two.

If you've never seen a parakeet nest in the wild, this is what they look like.

Yesterday we caught the very beginning of one heck of a hellacious storm. Wind gusts were up to 45 mph. I had to get off my bicycle and walk it until I reached a wind break. We got a little wet and were getting hit with pine needles, branches and lots of other flying debris, but made it to shelter until the storm lightened up a bit about 45 minutes later.

Chris went out after supper last night and spotted these trees. He thought the storm may have brought them down. Upon further investigation, we discovered they were downed by machine. Looks like some one is getting ready to switch the light poles from wood to concrete. This is six shots hand held.

Thanks Chris. We've been having some nasty weather lately so the camera has been with me, but bundled in its foul weather gear.

Thought the lack of pictures was due to you moving over to Canon ::what::
