Birds

My new camera is slowing down my walks quite a bit.

Too much to photograph.

This week I spent and hour with a green heron on the shores on Minnehaha creek.

He was caught up in fishing so did not bother to fly away from me.

He got many small fish but at one point was surprised to catch a sunfish that he dropped.

It looked too heavy to hold and too big to swallow.



The red legs indicate a breeding male.




These are details of his feathers












These turkeys were at Hyland nature center.

I think they were upset about an impending storm.

They did a lot of yelling.

A little later there was a tornado north of the area.
