Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
May 26, 2010
A spring-time walk at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve is full of yellow-coloured birds and a lot of activity, you just have to take your time, walk quietly and maybe stop at a bench to see what happens.
A Bald Eagle flew overhead with a load of grass for its nest while we stood talking to Wayne about “of all things” Bald Eagles.
American Goldfinches searching for a quick snack, unrolled leaves with caterpillars hidden deep inside.
A Great Blue Heron fished for lunch and ruffled its feathers after the meal.
A female Rufous Hummingbird stopped to preen on a branch with a lot of light behind it.
American Robins are constantly around now.
Cedar Waxwings exchanged gifts and checked the Lonicera berries for ripeness.
Male Yellow Warblers competed with songs while a female stopped for a few seconds in her search for insects for her nestlings.
A male Common Yellowthroat Warbler contributed to the work-load of feeding nestlings with many insects and caterpillars.
We stopped in at the Rotary Interpretive Centre for a chat with Janet, Cynthia and Dillon before heading home.
