I found myself at the Bailey Tract quite a few times this week following a good report from Libby about a Smooth-billed Ani. Try as I may, I was not successful in my endeavor.....however....spending time birding on the trail is always a bonus, come along and see what I came across....
 |
| On my way to work and with an early start, I was able to locate an American Bittern across the water - it was quite busy and focused on its next meal. |
 |
| In the distance - a Red-shouldered Hawk was drying up, unfortunately that's all the time I had, however I think it kicked start the day with a great punch! |
 |
| The following morning I was there bright and early - I watched the sun rise with the hopes of being lucky and finding the Ani. |
 |
| In the meantime a very vocal Belted Kingfisher was observed - talk about attitude and confidence! |
 |
| Meanwhile a young Little Blue Heron was enjoying a foot bath nearby. |
 |
| A very damp Pied-billed Grebe was the king in his claimed pond. |
 |
A Great Blue Heron seemed to enjoy that sunrise as much as I did, I bid it farewell until the next time.
