I had a great time this morning exploring the Pond Apple Trail and the retention ponds area, the birds have slowly returned and it is a welcome sight! Come along and enjoy the view.....
 |
| I was promptly greeted by the Red-shouldered Hawk. |
 |
| It was quite a sight to see some of the birds flying through the maze of branches and leaves - I soon realized that they were getting an early bath - the Great-crested Flycatcher is looking a bit damp afterwards. |
 |
| Along the retention pond I heard these 'gurgling' sounds which led me to a pair of Marsh Wren, they were quite entertaining. |
 |
| And across the path I found a silent House Wren |
 |
| The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher probably comes second to the Hummingbird as far as speed is concerned, it's hard to pin them down. |
 |
| A young Black-crowned Night Heron was seen coming out from the thick vegetation. |
 |
| The Wood Stork with its lovely pink feet - this one is young with its pale bill and fuzzy head. |
 |
| This Brown Pelican duo were seen flying and eating together. |
 |
| While by the bank, a Great Blue Heron was quite satisfied with its latest catch. |
 |
| The Palm Warbler seemed curiously interested. |
 |
| This will take some time to get it down. |
 |
| A Pied-billed Grebe with a Tricolored Heron were watching from afar. |
 |
| This is quite a catch and a Cormorant wanted some of that.... |
 |
| It's a bird eat fish world out there - the survival of the quickest.... |
 |
| or maybe the biggest. |
 |
| There's plenty of fish for everyone, Osprey included. |
 |
| "You do not see me, I am part of the fence". |
 |
| It's fish time for the Stork now. |
 |
| Then it's resting time....does it have to be in the poison ivy? |
