Saturday critters

 
looking for a bite to eat.


For you bird watchers out there here is an audio clip heard on RTE radio last week.  Birdwatchers flock to Mayo after rare heron is spotted.

  2. I thought they are found only at/in lakes. Must be a tough job to wait for a fish to come by...?

  3. A Yellow-crowned Night Heron would indeed be a rarity there, Bill. I can only imagine the frenzy of twitchers going to see it.

    Great capture of the Heron. The birders do love to see a rare bird in the area.

  11. Birders are such strange creatures — they will travel great distances just to see a lost bird in one place, but not necessarily travel to see it where it’s common. A wandering bird once landed in our area and people even FLEW into the airport, rented a car, drove for an hour, and then back to the airport — just to see it!

  12. We have Herons that come to our area to spend the summer and fall before migrating back south. They are beautiful, graceful birds that I always enjoy seeing.
