Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff - 2020

[Marilynne]

It's already rained twice here and for most of the week its looked like Cleveland.

As usual you got some nice shots this AM.

Thanks Jeff!

Managed to not get wet. Lots of rumbling in the sky but it didn't rain until about an hour after I got home.

Cindy, these are the bat houses I'm used to seeing. Opening on the bottom.

That's the kind I saw when I searched online. I have no idea where they got the idea to make bat houses with that small hole near the top. The Boy Scouts built their own. But I told someone who knows the troop that usually the opening is at the bottom. Maybe they will redesign them. Thanks!

This RWBB was singing his heart out, but no one came

While I was shooting the Great Egret I noticed an Osprey on the pole but I was still far away from it. After I shot the GE, the Osprey was gone, but then I saw this.

I thought it was heading back to its pole, but it flew past it, then made a wide circle back

After it landed, it looked like it lost its balance

After a while, it settled in and started eating.

Forgot this was in the D7100. We were looking at storage sheds and it was a hot day. Chris was beat!

I wonder what attracts them to the same spot every day. Every time I'm at Green Cay, this Anhinga is in the same spot.
