Besides watching the little blue herons going at it, there was quite a bit of action to be found this morning at the bend...
Spoonbill gathering nesting materials
From the looks of him, this guy has been eating a lot of crawfish...

Patrick, all four are great shots but I agree with Therese - the second shot is a real winner. | | | |

Nice series of shots Patrick. Great job keeping focus on all of them, but that crawdad shot takes the cake. | | | |

These are fantastic. It sure was a lot of fun there for a while. Glad you got that spoon.
Like we talked about they don't come down and land very often.
I want to go back just to get more hummer shots. Your hummer shots look great! | | | |

Thanks all!
Sandy, I'm glad you spotted the spoon at the other end of the lake. By the time I got down there, he had jumped behind the reeds and I had to wait him out.
Ron, it was great meeting you too. Did you get some shots to post from Friday? | | | |

Love the yellow crowned night heron gulping the crawdad! And the spoonie in flight with branches in its beak is very nice! | | | |
