A Villain?

This dude looks like a villain. I'm not even sure it's an older male, but I know it is a male Great Blue Heron. I guess to the fish see him a bad guy.

The Paparazzi Arrived?

I tried to get closer to capture a better photo - I overheard the orange bill guy say, ‘Act natural,’ but they all bolted when the paparazzi showed up!

It has been a while since we saw a American Black Duck. The males have a yellow bill. They were just floating around on this fishing pod at Garbry Big Woods Reserve.

Vibrant Wood Duck … Elegantly Colors

It has been a while since I have photographed a male Wood Duck. The colors are so impressive. They all toook off shortly after I took this photo.

Taking Flight

We were at Big Woods driving between bird feeders when I saw this Great Blue Heron in a tree over one of the ponds. I guess she could not see the no-fishing sign.😂! I took a couple of quick photos then before I could finish she took off. I like this photo.
