[QUOTE="hark, post: 324127, member: 13196"] Nice photos, Pretzel! :cool: The short heron does remind me of a gangster! ;) So the first shot is actually a turtle. When the page loaded, it loaded slowly, and its head was at the bottom of my screen without its shell being visible. Initially I thought it was a snake. :rolleyes: Wish we'd get more of these exotic birds here--only saw some cormorants and a heron once although I've heard there is an osprey around somewhere. And supposedly an eagle built a nest near here, but I haven't seen that one either. :( [/QUOTE]
