You can see the skeleton in this one or is that just the sun?

These are for you @kevin_H. The male was on a branch when I got to Green Cay and wound up at the feeder by the time I got the camera out of the bag.

Now train them to follow your truck

It was kabooming like crazy yesterday and Green Cay is three miles from home, but I had to shoot this Limpkin. Common along the canals, but rare in the wetlands.

Do I have a belly button?

Still can't find it!!

Go away!!

 

[Marilynne]

Spotted a Black and White Warbler - gone before I could focus. Same for the Common Yellowthroat and Prairie Warbler.

Got this, but not sure which Warbler it is.

By now the kabooms were getting louder and closer and I was still a half mile walk to my bike. I did make it home dry though!

We were having a late lunch at La Bamba's. Chris was taking a smoke break before our meal arrived. He called to tell me he was looking at a bird and didn't recognize it. I went out and saw the Green Heron. It was tiny and behind the tall grass. We went back in and after our lunch, it moved to a better location for a shot.

The same GBH from different spots along the boardwalk
