Birdy Nature Friday with Rosy - Water Birdies

 

 

WOW...It's hard to believe it's almost Autumn already!

 

 Mama has been hiking in a local bird sanctuary this summer and has accumulated a bunch of birdy photos. I let her know, since we are in between nature adventures, that she could share the photos here over the next couple of weeks. 

 

This week we're going look at a few water birds: 

 Let's start with a couple of herons. Here we have a Great Blue Heron, Mama's favorite water bird!

 

 

Mama caught this Great White Heron walking the shoreline 

These little guys are all over the marshy areas at low tide:

 

 Mama likes watching the Lesser Yellowlegs skitter across the mud leaving their little talon prints everywhere.

 

You can really notice his little "yellow legs" in this picture. He looks a little chilly too, don't you think?

 

 You won't believe the next birdy, just look at his beak...

 

 

It's humongous! This is a Curlew, a Long Billed Curlew to be exact....

 

 

I guess we know where he got his name, don't we?

 BOL!!

 

 

This Snowy Egret is another one of Mama's favorites, they look so very floofy!

 

 Let's wrap things up the way with another Great Blue Heron...They have such long skinny necks and faces, don't you think?

 

 

Thank for joining us for a look at some of the water birdies Mama has been seeing this Summer! 

 

I hope you get outside and chase some, I mean look at, some birdies this weekend!
