Should have moved slower and stayed further away.

not really HQ enough for the digital slo-mo to be that impressive and tracking this guy was hard – had to spin all the way around. Anyway, happy to see Ardea alba returning.

Maybe I saved a few frogs lives today!

Been trying to capture the elegant butchering by these guys. Here, the female pierces her prey on a thorn before eating it.

great to see Ardea alba back in the stream. Got some pretty big frogs and it isn’t even March yet. Hope the frogs continue to grow.

This was a noisy Sunday in the field as the Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) were out screeching away trying to teach their young to fly and to walk across the street. Incredibly funny to me the way they act.
