Peggy C's photos with the keyword: Herons

- ready to set down - Egret came out of a sky full of flying wildlife - they really needed a Control Tower - take with Canon PowerShot A630 © All rights reserved

.. behavior .. changed by the Full moon? .. haven't seen Herons challenge each other .. for foraging areas before .. they just move on to another spot .. the Large White one didn't want anybody .. feeding in his ditch! .. sometimes they don't even get along .. as my friend, Winnie the Pooh would say .. "it is a puzzlement .." collage done in: www.picmonkey.com © All rights reserved

- this is a self serve outdoor dining facility - all you can eat - fresh ! Egret in what looks like a difficult place to find food .. Not for this one, though ! edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved

Wood Stork on watch - rarely moved - kept guard over the group on the right - this is only part of the rookery - and - yes, this is one time - wish the lens could capture more - edited in: www.picmonkey.com © All rights reserved

only part.. Another Link in the Chain .. one nest to multiple nests of the Rookery .. Wood stork nests .. Cormorants .. Anhingas .. Snowy Egrets .. haven't seen Herons or Roseatte Spoonbills -- yet .. been digitally tracking this area for 3 yrs now .. the birds are all increasing in numbers .. hopefully that equates with more chick survival .. this is a hand held shot.. will go back with tripod .. but, this is a really noisy place .. chicks with mouths open .. voicing displeasure at not being .. fed quickly enough ? www.picmonkey.com © All Rights Reserved ..just going by 2012 photos, there are more Wood storks this year; just a visual via photos, by no means do I count them..
