Great Blue Heron - Wellston, Michigan Snow Storm

Yeah, I Know, I’m Lost

This Great Blue Heron was photographed in Wellston, Michigan on November after a huge snow storm. Great Blue Heron’s usually migrate from northern area’s but this one must not have listened to the weather forecast.

Bald Eagle - Glacier National Park at Lake McDonald

THIS IS MY LAKE

Hiking in Glacier National Park around Lake McDonald we walked up on this Bald Eagle perched and watching over the lake. Seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to glide down and grab a fish for his morning meal.

Purple Gallinule - Arthur B. Marshall National Wildlife Refuge

I’VE GOT MINE

This Purple Gallinule was delicately scurrying a way over the top of the lily pads with snack in tow. Seemed so confident and happy to have secured the snake all for him or herself.

Great Blue Heron - Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

Watching Over My Domain

Standing perfectly still and watching over every movement. This Great Blue Heron has staked out his territory to hunt for his next catch. He’ll stay stationary until his time comes.

Pelican - Gliding Over Fort Lauderdale Beach

Look at Me – I Can Fly

This Pelican was in full glide mode over Fort Lauderdale Beach. Must have caught the right thermal because I don’t think I saw a single flap of the wings to entire length of the beach.

Limpkin at Arthur R. Marshall National Wildlife Refuge

I Saw You First

This Limpkin was standing on the levy embankment at Arthur R. Marshall National Wildlife Refuge just waiting for an opportunity to jump down and snatch a morsel.

Seagull at Hillsborough Inlet

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY

This Seagull claimed this dock post as a vantage point for his own and although other seagull’s wanted to share, this guy thought the scene was to beautiful to share.

Great Blue Heron - Flight - Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

MAKING A MOVE

This Great Blue Heron was taking flight in short distances and staying put just long enough to investigate the movement that caught the Heron’s attention. It was a morning breakfast stalking session.

Green Herron at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

GREEN HERON

This Green Heron was very patient without making a single move, not even a blink while on the hunt for any movement.

Striated Heron - Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

STRIATED HERON

This Striated Heron at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge noticed me taking this photograph. I guess the curiosity got the best of this heron.

Little Blue Heron - On The Prowl at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

LITTLE BLUE HERON

This Little Blue Heron was on the prowl and moving ever so slightly in the morning pursuit of its’ next meal or morsel as it moved across the marsh from twig to twig.

Blue Jay - Bird Feeder - Franklin North Carolina

BLUE JAY

This Blue Jay and his cohorts dominated the bird feeder and other birds stood by patiently until the Blue Jays had their fill. It’s like all the other birds just knew not to mess with the Blue Jay clan.

Red Shouldered Hawk - Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

RED SHOULDERED HAWK

This Red Shoulder Hawk was first sighted stalking a fellow bird sunning itself with with wings spread on a tree branch. If it wasn’t for a hiker interrupting the hunt it may have ended badly for the fellow bird.
