Snowy egret visit...
« on: January 27, 2007, 01:45:31 PM »
At least I think that's what it was...saw it walking on the pond rocks this afternoon...rather fearless..didn't seem concerned by my presence...haven't done a fish census yet to see if it had lunch before I saw it.

Those are great pictures, but with a beak like that, he looks like trouble!
We had a visit from a Kingfisher this morning, we saw him get one goldfish, hard telling how many he ate before we saw him.

Well, that's very very cool, especially if you didn't have any fish you'd really be hurt about losing . . . .great pics anyway!

Great pics!  So far, I've never been visited by any type of those birds, kingfishers, or herons..knock on wood.  I've seen them in a big ditch about a block from here.  I hope they always stay there.

HE is pretty! I have never seen birds but have seen a big owl and hawks last year.. I sure hope they arent fishermen.  The hawk carried off my albinio squirrel.. I never saw anything like that before.  Sure hope they dont hit the pond!
