Some Morning Birds

Yesterday morning, it was cold (40) here at Paynes Prairie Preserve when I went out for a walk. I was bundled up and the birds were puffed up. A Red-Shoulder hawk eyed me as I headed out.

I never tire of seeing Anhingas catching the rays.
“hey, you lookin’ at me?”
Palm warblers were out in force
Great Egret in the usual spot.
I think this ie an immature Little Blue Heron.

Weather is finally turning away from parkas toward shorts weather and we, and the mosquitos, can’t wait.
