A spot I always visit when I'm at sister's home is Oak Grove Lake...The dam broke about 18 months ago so the bird-life has not returned to full occupancy but some have returned...its always a great spot to see babies in various stages of infancy!
Other Birds who love the water are around....like this Red Winged Blackbird.
and the belted kingfisher
this fishing line scares me.... hope he never gets entangled in it...
Eastern Bluebirds are always around catching flies....
and ah......Got Worms? This Grackle does,,,,he has a mouth full!!
Lovely wild daisies in full bloom...
and I can never pass a thistle by without getting a photo, such a beautiful plant...
I have not looked this fellow up...but he sure is pretty look at those green eyes!!
I heard this call unfamiliar to me...then I saw this Pied Billed Grebe floating around in the reeds I think a nest was nearby...I tried to get his call but he clammed up when I turned the video on...
Such a cool encounter...he had his eye on me the whole time!!
another great day in nature!!
PEACE
