For Canada Day, we decided to camp out at Holiday Beach. I was happy because I knew I would get to see herons and cranes. I certainly was not disappointed. While I didn't do any serious bird watching, I did make sure to check out the marsh each day. Here are some pictures I managed to get.....
Great Blue Heron :) |
In flight..... |
Truth be told, I'm a little bit sad that I didn't just watch him (or her) through my binoculars...what a spectacular bird! |
I'm not sure what this bird is....there were four of them sitting up in this tree. When they left the tree, they dove for fish! They didn't fully submerge (that I recall). Any idea? Update...I am pretty sure these are Eastern Kingbirds :)
This is a new bird for me! I am pretty sure it is a Common Moorhen :) |
I think this is a Great Egret. The bill is more orange than yellow and the lores are more black than greenish. |
Ok...not birds, but still cute :) |
Love the action shot, even though it is blurry :) |
As always, if I have misidentified a bird, please correct me!
