Majestic Heron Caught Hunting!

I was just a little too fast with this photo. Just after I took this photo this Great Blue Heron attacked a fish .. then leaned back and swallowed it. I missed the money shot.

Another Couple

I guess love is in the air. Little ducks soon ..

Have you ever seen the blue in the wings of the male Blue-winged Teal. It is beautiful, but you can't see it in this photo.

Owning It

In past years we have seen Great Blue Herons at this spot (at Big Woods) frequently. It has been a long time since the saw one here. It was great to see. She clearly owns this spot.

Lost Swans?

This field is not where I expected to see a Trumpeter Swan. There was actually two of them. Maybe they were avoiding the high water levels in the river.
