the Egret is playing with his breakfast

I liked the reflection this Snowy Egret, it has the same hairdo has grandpas Egrets, I watched them for a bit this morning, it seems they put them up to scare the other birds off/away.

 

[Roy1961]

Can anyone identify these, just plain haven't got a clue, thanks

some sort of black flying insect with an orange butt.

a black gull type bird who just shook out all his loose down.

guessing some sort of Kingfisher??

I got these this morning at Lake Skinner just outside of Temecula's wine country, I will be going back here.

The middle one is a cormorant.

 

[Roy1961]

thanks Marilynne, I heard them talking about a blue footed booby that was at the lake, didn't see one but lots of bird watchers out today.

 

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

#1 is a bug and the other two are birds.

Glad I could clear this up for you.

The first is a wasp a sphecid in the genus Prionyx.

The second as Marilynne said is a cormorant.

The third is a night heron.

I thought the last was a night heron, but wasn't sure.

 

[Roy1961]

cheers Scott, didnt think it would be a heron, just by the size.

first post in here in a while, lots of Taekwondo shots to go thru and give to the studio.

The first one was better as I was coming home, by the time I got out to the back yard it was already fading, the second one I was just trying to capture the rays.

[Roy1961]

took these today, now the intense heat is gone and in the mid 80's it looks like summer, flowers sprouting up again, butterflies out, nice.
