Green Heron got annoyed with me for taking a photo.
Got a tip for us?

I felt like I was in a Monet painting. I'm not sure the pictures can capture it but the fall colors reflecting off the lake were amazing. American Wigeons, likely Ringneck Ducks but possibly Lesser Scaups (?), and a Wood Duck at the Lake this weekend.

beautiful! thank you for posting these. coincidentally i saw one semi-up-close with my binoculars yesterday for the first time, but I didn’t have a decent camera to capture it. they are so fast! even if i’d had a better iphone, it would have been near impossible to get shots even close to this quality. gorgeous images!

No extended hike for this one. Hooded Merganzer returned to retention pond in business/professional office center. Parking was simple, but had to stealthily approach in-line with a tree along the shoreline otherwise they would swim to the opposite shore.

This little Ovenbird, a type of warbler, was foraging around back in the undergrowth along the trail.

Don't know where came (escaped) from but the Ring Neck Pheasant is not native to Florida. While saw them when stationed in the UK, never in the US and is a common theme among photographers in the Wetlands.

Beginning to return but haven't started building nests yet. Then it really gets interesting as you know the flight path as they return with nesting material in their bill.

State Bird of South Dakota! At the opening of Pheasant season in SD, the Sioux Falls airport baggage collection looks like the Salt Lake City baggage collection at the start of ski season: long, thin bags everywhere, except they're shotguns, not skis. 😀
I believe they were originally native to China, but so beautiful folks imported them to North America, along with UK. Nice shots!
