Night At The Lake

            As you know I was very excited about seeing so many birds in one place at the lake two nights ago.  I have to think it was because there was no one else there but my husband and I that they felt so free to come in.  Usually there are fishermen and boaters which keep a reasonable amount of them away.  Anyway, for so many of you these are all so common  so I have decided to just stack a few in this post.  We NEVER see white Pelicans here either!  (nor the Kingfisher) Herons are very common (as are the Osprey) but I love them so he got top billing in the stack!  We were there for about two hours and the Heron shot as the Osprey flying shot where right as the last rays of sun shed their glory.  

None are 'perfect' as you know I'm not so good at birds but it was a great experience!

Thanks for sharing the experience,
Bev
