Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Marilynne]

Then I stumbled upon the reason for all the vultures - raccoon for lunch

Sharing the meal

 

[Marilynne]

These looked like they had some potential, but I didn't like them any way I processed them (trimmed and resized)

so I made them kinda funkadelic

Waiting on her mate with nesting supplies

Different Great Egret

Hubby with nesting supplies

Last time I was here, she had one egg, now I see two

A gal's gotta look her best

 

[Marilynne]

Couldn't get a good view of this Green Heron

 

[Marilynne]

Found a shady spot to scratch that itch

 

[Marilynne]

Momma and her babies - look near the bottom for the fuzz ball - could only see two

Highly cropped

Soft Shell Turtle sunning

We passed these cows in a construction area (Villaggio Reserve Delray Beach, FL - Villaggio Delray Beach Florida). You can see the new homes in the background.

Not sure what this guy was eating - looked like a paint roller or something

Highly cropped but still can't tell

Spotted it itty bitty tiny flower (1/4") on one of our butt breaks.

 

[Marilynne]

This thistle looking plant with puffball were there also.

 

[Marilynne]

This Tropical Checkered Skipper was about the size of a quarter

 

[Marilynne]

Spotted this Osprey over at Bethesda West Hospital.

I thought today was my lucky day - he went in to swoop mode

and aborted

I know it this one's a tad blurry

to fly up to this tree

[Marilynne]

Osprey can spend hours sitting in trees or on poles, so I packed up and started pedaling over to the power plant where Chris was waiting for me. A minute later, guess who circled me not once, but five times, showing off.

A flock of cormorants

Never see this many in the water all at once, they must have been attracted to the lonely gull.

 

[Marilynne]

Looks like he was banned from the click

Can you believe he was fraternizing with the cormorants??

You should have walked over to him and pulled it out and looked. LOL

It was behind two fences. We looked around for a person, but didn't see any one.
