Was out in the front yard hoping to get a few hummers on my big duranta, which is getting its yearly haircut tomorrow. No hummers were about, but as I stood there, the magnolia across the street exploded with birds flying off in all directions. That is a pretty good sign that somebody is on the prowl. I went across and found a young Cooper's starting dinner prep.

Avocets have made it in

This guy popped up right in front of the lens as I was taking getting focus on a robin; startled the hell out of me.

I found a 5k walk/run around the lake had started up with a few hundred noisy kids, so I decided to quit early and started to the car. As I crossed the small feeder creek, I spotted a great blue, so stopped for a few shots and got lucky
