We finaly got a decent picture of some wood ducks. They are all over the lake and creek, but they are also extremly wary. We see them as they take off and fly away, but until now, we've never been able to get a picture of one.
We walked right up to a pair that were swiming along the shorline. Steph got a few quick pictures before they spotted us and took off.
Then while we were smiling and talking about how cool that was, we heard another pair calling. They have the wierdest call of any bird, and it's kind of spooky. That pair kept on flying, but another pair landed in the middle of the lake. They swam up to this log and sat there for a few pictures.
We were there to take some pictures of a Little Blue Heron that I'd seen during the week, but couldn't get any good pictures of it. She has the good Cannon S2 camera with a 12x optical zoom. Great camera!!! And she loves to take pics of the birds with it, so this is allot of fun for us.
We didn't find the Little Blue Heron, but we did see this bird. It was pretty far away, so they are fuzzy, but we can't figure out what it is. The colors and shape look like it could be a Plover, Sanderling or Sandpiper. We just can't find any pictures of anything that match the pictures she took. It might be the way the lighting is reflecting on it, or it could be imature. We just don't know.
