Excerpts from a short conversation I recently overheard at the wetlands...."It looks dead!" exclaimed the Turkey Vulture.
"It smells dead," replied a Crested Caracara from a neighboring fence post.

"I'll take it from here, Vulture!"
"No, you're not getting any either lady with the camera!"
A beautiful Tricolored Heron.
A very plump American Bittern.
A camouflaged Savannah Sparrow.
A few Ring-necked ladies were hanging out.
This Red-shouldered Hawk was enjoying something gross.
A beautiful sunset to end the night!
your shots are all beautiful! i'm so jealous of your caracara shots! what i get are so pitiful in comparison!
ReplyDeleteHello Tammy!!!.. Beautiful images of birds and varied .. I really like the raptor .. Also a beautiful sunset as the end. Greetings

ReplyDeleteYour heavenly twilight image is a wonderful way to end your outstanding collection of bird photos. What a perfect birding day you had at the wetlands.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend as well, Tammy.
Hello Tammy, busy day for the birds: scouting, flying, spying, camouflaging, swimming, catching and ewwww, eating! Are those a pair of legs hanging out of the hawk's mouth? I know, everyone's gotta eat. I love your conversation between the Caracara and the Vulture, which is probably exactly how it went :) Thanks for the gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteI found your character's interpretation both funny and entertaining. As Rosemary mentioned it was likely spot on. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't how you manage to get such great shots in challenging light. Amazing!
Beautiful shots. Can you read my bed time story please!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were a bird whisperer!
ReplyDeleteWhat talent!
Looks like that Red-shouldered Hawk found himself a nice bullfrog. Fabulous shots, as always.

ReplyDeleteI love the Caracara's...I wish we had them this far north. The heron is my favorite! The Tri-colored's are beautiful! Fantastic shots!

Hi Tammy, It looks as if the Red-shouldered Hawk has a wishbone in its beak ;>) I bet its wishing for something fishy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day... and sunset!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous portraits of all these birds!
Looks like the hawk enjoyed the toad; a rare sight to see them eating!
A truly great post!
Cheers Tammy!
