This is the first White Egret that I’ve seen this spring. What a treat! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
When the tide comes in at Boat Meadow, it makes lots of little ponds where the shore birds love to go to fish. This White Egret was diving in looking for lunch at one of the ponds. It was a warm day so seeing this guy really felt like spring is on the way!
Have you seen any Egrets yet?
It’s always fun to stop by Rock Harbor to see if there are any photo ops. There usually are! This Common Eider and his wife were swimming about the harbor, more interested in preening than fishing. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Beautiful birds, don’t you think? Such a difference male to female…
This little Red-bellied Woodpecker was taking a drink at our backyard bird bath during a recent cold spell. Its black-and-white striped back and flashing red cap and nape make it easy to identify.
Many times they will call out before coming into the yard… almost like “Watch out! Here I come!” What a beauty! Have you seen any Red-Bellied woodpeckers this winter?
