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.

Finally .. A Kingfisher

This is a male Belted Kingfisher. We have seen a few this summer but we have not been able to capture a photo. I mean, not even a bad photo. Teresa saw this one flying near the pond at Big Woods. I spotted him in a tree that extends over the pond. I am so grateful for this photo. What a cool dude.

Great Blue

We were hiking on the trail along the Miami River when we saw this Great Blue Heron land on the dead tree. It is not much of a tree but it was a great place for her to land.

A Little Blue

As of late we are not seeing many ducks. It was great to carch up with this Mallard on the Miami River. His colors are muted but the blue sure stands out.
