I like that picture of the kingbird. I haven't seen one here for years, while they used to be relatively common. The best birding experience of my life was when I was driving in error down this dirt road that turned out to be a dead end. In the yard of the last house on the road was a crow flying off from the lawn with a kingbird perched on its shoulders. Only the crow was flying, as the kingbird with closed wings was busy pounding his beak into the crow's head. It was incredible! The crow was taking a terrible beating...

Don't over do it...I almost did earlier this week working in the sun digging and hauling heavy rocks. I think I learned my lesson and hope you will take my advice.

They really are beautiful birds...cool to know that they are comical with interesting personalities. I like the the blue herons, but I'd love to see a green heron too. I don't want to lose my frogs... But it sure would be cool to see a heron or two in our own back yard.

The water level at our favorite local swamp has been very low this year but we did see three Great Blues, an Egret and some Green Herons.
Lower water level can mean a higher concentration of fish in certain places and ![]() ![]() |

Pretty neat to see the two of them side by side like that Sage.
You'd think the turtle would have abandoned his post!
