Actually, I did even better than this – I got about a...
Preening in the reeds, originally uploaded by Erin aka Tink*~*~*. I think it’s an anhinga – hard to tell from this distance. I need field glasses! Mine broke last year and I’ve yet to replace them. Sent from my Nokia N97
Little blue heron fishing at Lakes Park, originally uploaded by Erin aka Tink*~*~*. Well, at least I THINK that’s what he is. If I’m going to get my walk on, then I’m going to have to stop getting distracted! Sent from my Nokia N97
