Happy Halloween! Maybe I’ll put more effort into a costume for next year.
Osprey?

Mama duck and her ducklings
For those nature lovers out there… Canada Geese
Three Wood Storks, an Egret/Heron and a Roseate Spoonbill… and I only had the little waterproof camera with me.

Why do you look so miffed, Tweety?
Great Blue Heron on a (hot tin) roof…
And no, this isn’t a paper cutout… the lighting was just really funny.
When I am old I shall set up birdfeeders for my and the local cats’ entertainment.
Monk Parakeets (actually from the parrot family) at a birdfeeder on 30th Ave N.
So there’s a story with this one (of course).
I’m driving by and think, “wow, look at all those egrets… on the roof, in the trees, in the bushes, on the lawn…”. So I stop. Of course, when I stop, a neighbour comes out to see what I’m doing. ”Just taking some pix of the birds. I’ve never seen so many in one place like that.”
Well, turns out… the people feed the egrets (so reports the neighbour). ”Bird seed?”, I ask. ”No, they’re meat eaters: hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. Meat”.
I got the feeling the neighbour wasn’t too happy about it.
Just saying…

It’s probably better if we just don’t ask…
Plenty of real birds fly through town - this really isn’t necessary.
