On the way back, the Egret was still there, so took a few more pics. I didn't see the Blue Heron until I uploaded the pics to my computer. He was camouflaged beside the dead tree limbs.
It was also a Bobwhite Quail kind of day. I have only seen them on the ground, so was happy to see this one perched on a fence post.
A little farther down the road, I saw this guy.
These Black Vultures look like they belong in this dead tree.

...the Bobwhite Quail is neat!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of bird photos! I like the second one best.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see Quail. I sometimes hear them here, but have not seen any
Hope you are having a good weekend!
I often see things in the photo that I did not see by eye before :-) Cheers iane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful egrets. I love the Bobwhite. Great sightings. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteOh ya...turn that vulture photo to black/white & it would make a GREAT Halloween-October header for your blog. lol
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your quail. I too only see them on the ground.

Hi Betty. I do like that BobWhite Quail. It's a handsome creature. And you're right, the vultures look as if they belong in a Western adventure movie just waiting for the `dead bodies after a shoot out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sightings and photos!
ReplyDeleteSome great avian company!
ReplyDeleteI love the egret in profile on the branch. I don't know if I've noticed a quail before. Those vultures are up to no good.
ReplyDeleteBetty - terrific pictures - I especially like the quail - so precious! Thanks for your recent visit to my blog. September is a good month to visit Montana - the larches and aspens will be in full color, but no snow yet (Hopefully).
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
