A juvenile Yellow Crowned Night Heron. His name is Marcus.
He's so cute.
And here's Mom, not too bothered I crawled off the trail a bit close to young Marcus to get his picture.
I think this is Uncle Howard. He was bashful.
The observation tower is nice to visit. You ca see things. Like the Skyway, and a lot of wetlands.
Plus I think it's kind of photogenic too.
I caught this paddle boarder from the tower. Don't ask me why she's wearing a white skirt and blouse. (It was Sunday. Maybe she just came from church.)
I'd love to be on the observation tower with my camera.
ReplyDeleteWearing white in that situation is a mark of confidence I think!
ReplyDeleteNice set of pictures.

ReplyDeleteThe birds are beautiful. I'd love to climb that tower and take pics of the views from the top. As for the girl paddle boarding in a skirt? Interesting. Makes for a great picture I guess. :)
