Bird of the Day: Snowy Egret

See the bright yellow feet? Spectacular with the black legs and white feathers.

I was happy to get a photo with the bird's neck extended, but I also love how it looks with its neck tucked in. My neck was certainly tucked in today. It was gray and cold and windy out there on the sand.

Bird of the Day: Eared Grebe

We actually spotted this creature some weeks ago, and I forgot to post it. So here it is in all its wondrousness to take your mind off the mundane.

I am realizing more and more that I am a bird geek. I want a better camera. Fancy binoculars. A trip meant for bird watching.

True confessions: I even like sparrows.

Secret: Pelicans blow my mind. If a pelican flies overhead when, let's say, you are walking with me on the beach, you will have to repeat what you just said.

Yours truly,

Very geeky bird lover

P.S. A snowy egret flew right in front of me today as I was driving. My life flashed in front of my eyes. Well. Maybe not. But my brain said egretegretegret!!!
