The weather held out for a trip today. I didn't want to venture too far with the broken glasses of doom so I went to Sandy Ridge as it gets a lot of foot traffic.
This Sandhill Crane was fearless. People were walking a foot away from it and it didn't care. One guy joked about trying to pet it, but while I was close enough that I could have, one look at the huge beak and I was not tempted. I took a lot of photos of the crane.
I can totally see the birds as living dinosaurs thing here.
I cannot get over those eyes!
The crane was so big, it was actually hard to get it all into the picture.
I saw quite a few turtles. They always make me think of my sister.
I saw a few white egrets too.
This is a female red-winged blackbird. They look nothing like the males.
This butterfly has seen better days.
This is actually a second butterfly.
And finally a decent dragonfly picture this season!
And finally this is what happens when you catch a warbler in flight at just the wrong time.
