A Visit by Two Green Herons, Etc.

Hi all,

First off, congrats once again to Jen for winning Contest 5. That was a ton of fun.

Next up, the wife and I had a rather strange set of visitors in our front-yard maple tree. For some unknown reason, a pair of green herons decided to make that their perch.

And here's a better shot of just one...

To say that this is a tad unusual (at least for us anyway) is a bit of an understatement. I've never even seen these shore birds, let alone witnessed two sitting happily in one of our trees... Ah life... Someone should sell tickets.

Let's see... What else? As you probably noticed in the last post, the crows have gotten over their fear of the NovaBird automatic camera setup. We have really got some amazing shots... Now that is cool!

Also, our Flickr Library now holds 1,335 photos... Enjoy...

Well, that should keep you busy for awhile.

As always, see you by those feeders,
