A little too dark to get a good turkey (non-vulture variety) photo. Will try again. Oh, and wait until you see it fly!

cormorant_0005

This is the first cormorant Anhinga photo that I like a little. I’m having a hard time getting a sharp image of his face – which might be a good thing, he’s pretty ugly.

Little Blue Heron

bird_0090

I think this might be a Tricolored Heron.  I walked up a hill to a pond and we kind of startled each other.  I took a quick photo and he took off, so I didn’t get another shot at him.
