Where does the time go?? I meant to blog about my bird outing at the Estero Preserve and somehow it got lost in the shuffle, well....there is not better time than now, so come along....
 |
| as it is customary for me - I arrived before the sunrise and I was granted golden views of this American Bittern along the 'little pond' aka Wigeon Pond - however the pond was almost devoid of ducks except for a handful of Blue-winged Teal and one.... |
 |
| Green -winged Teal, now that's a beautiful duck! |
 |

 |
| More views of the American Bittern. |
 |
| While searching for rails and sparrows, we found White Pelicans flying overhead and.... |
 |
| a handful of American Wigeons. |
 |
| We (Elaine and I) found a pond that we had never seen before and in it were a few Wood Storks, |
 |
| several Killdeers, |
 |
| American Avocets and Greater Yellowlegs. |
 |
| I never get tired of watching Avocets - I could easily spend an entire day with them. |
 |
| Estero Preserve can be challenging with mud, water and lack of marked trails. |
 |
| However, it is well worth the effort as the time spent there is truly priceless. |
