Green Heron
August 28th, 2009
White-Throated
Sparrows are moving through now. A rather early pair of
Hooded Mergansers
swam by on Mud Lake, and a female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak was on the ridge,
along with some migrant warblers. None of these subjects were making
themselves particularly photographable, however.
But this one was.
The first
Green Heron
I've seen all year, fishing at the north shore. I felt sheepish when I
mentioned it to a fellow birder and he said, "oh yeah, it's always there in
the morning..." I guess this is what happens when I finally get out birding at
6
am instead of 6 pm!
