Picked up some Jamaican Patties for lunch yesterday and pedaled over to Lake Ida. This was the first bird on the scene.

I was about five feet away

Stepped off the path and got covered with mosquitoes. Chris said they were the blind mosquitoes and don't bite. I didn't care. When I jumped, so did the Black Crowned Night Heron.

Edit: It's doing it to me again today. Why aren't the photos fully loading??

Edit2: After I posted the first edit, the photos loaded.

Fantastic shots Marilynne! What 300 lens do you use? I'm weighing up my options at the moment, leaning towards a Nikon 70-300 over the 55-300 as I've read the auto focus is much faster and better to suited to birding.

By the time I realized there was a hole on the other side of the tree, there were to many other folks standing around.

The guy in front asked if I wanted to trade places and the woodpecker took off.
