The view from my back door...
The poles in the wetlands were "planted" a couple of summers ago after the county took out all the vegetation because it wasn't native. They turned the lush green wetlands into brown dirt and tall dead stumps with a pond winding around the area. The green has come back, and with it, birds of all kinds. We see ducks, hawks, Canada Geese, and this heron who presides over the whole scene.
I wish I would have been able to capture it in flight- the wingspan is huge.
My camera isn't very sophisticated, but I'm sure glad it has a zoom feature.
Contest coming up on the weekend!
