Great Blue Heron Wind Dance

By neighdoctor March 15, 2017 Great Blue Heron Wind Dance

The air was so alive and strong today that even the great blue heron could not stay in one place.

I caught it as it finally quit trying to stand on the dam’s tailrace and launched into the howling wind.

I was at the Jordan Lake dam today, early…very early.
This male American kestrel flashed by me.
Sky was grey, he was fast, and the sun wasn’t helping my attempted shot.
But, as sometimes happens, the unintended is interesting…
so, here is the kestrel in the abstract.

autumn accent

Autumn osprey: flashing accent of feathers and fish against the fall foliage.
The migrant osprey was out fishing again this morning.
There is an injury at the tip of his right wing, but he doesn’t seem to notice it.
He is very efficient at his fishing and often pulls large fish out of the river.
He proudly showed me his catch as he left out over the dam.
