The Green Heron(digascoped)
So...I do love Green Cay...we have only been 3 times...and the last two times very briefly....but we always see lots of Birdies and the scenery is always lovely.

Here is a little more of Green Cay nature center......
We sqoze in a few more morning walks in between friends and family visits.
We added another lifer...Yellow-throated warbler. I didn't get a photo....warblers are difficult to capture with my slow point and shoot.
This is the entrance to Green Cay.
Boat tailed Grackles in dead tree...I love the reflections here...
lots of duck weed
beautiful islands.. water for reflections
clouds in water with duckweed and reeds
more duck weed..at least i think that is what this weed is...anybody know otherwise?
Jeff and I played around with the digascope contraption he made for 12 dollars.
and Birdies in the weed...isn't it sweet...
Pied-billed Grebe
Green Heron in weed
Tri-colored heron in weed ..I cant get enough of the green weed...
Purple Gallinule above the weed...
they are silly little tightrope walking birdies with huge feet and beautiful purple coloring.
A common site in Green Cay...two or three and even four or more species of birdies in one shot.
here we have a little blue heron and a tri-colored
Anhinga drying its wings
A sweet little Sora...On the birdie walk with Eva..we saw four.
a tricolor stuck around and showed off its beauty..

a rather blurry pic of what we think is a mallard/mottled cross...
I will have to ask Eva about this.

And Again thanks Eva for mentioning me and my bloggy on your bloggy!
You are one lucky gal to work at Green Cay!
Continue to enlighten!
Our wheels are on the pavement headed north for a new adventure..
Spacecoast Birding and wildlife Festival here we come!
Such fantastic photos. I felt as if I were there!
ReplyDeleteLove the herons and the green water. Cool pics
ReplyDeleteI do love that face! and the grackles and reflections as well.
ReplyDeleteThat last series of birds is just wonderful. Beautiful pictures!
Hola Dawn,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are SOOO beautiful!!
You are lucky to see such beauty!!
Bill Kominsky is fantastic. Wow. But Dawn, your Green Heron Photos are wonderful! The first one is my fave.
ReplyDeleteHappy Travels!
Mary
Great photos Dawn!! I especially like the first one of the green heron.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I would love to see all those birds in one spot. I seldom hear much about Florida other than beaches, malls and Disneyland which is the reason most Canadians go there.
ReplyDeleteThose heron photos were incredible!! Loved all the shots you captured.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Everything looks so green and warm and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful place with so many wonderful birds. Right now we are almost birdless, most of them have flown south for the winter. Our resident ravens keep us company, though. - Margy
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Loved the expression of the Heron.. Enjoyed your blog.. Will definitely be back! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Digascoping! I love the green heron photo too. From here, it looks like duckweed. I look forward to seeing where your next adventure takes you.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful. They look like they are from a magazine. Such pretty birds. I'm glad your having a great time birding..
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful. Sure are a lot of birds at Green Cay--where is that in Florida?
ReplyDeleteBut for the pied-billed grebe, those would all be lifers for me. Great photos! That mallard/mottled cross looks almost like it has a green-winged teal head. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteDear Dawn,
ReplyDeleteYour Green Heron photgraphs just leapt off the screen! OMG....I just have to get south...
Safe travels. Love the digi-scope...he did great.
Looking forward to your next stop.
Hugs,
Sherry
Green Cay and Wakodahatchee - two of my favorites places. We were there last Feb, and I didn't want to leave. Saw my first Sora and a Snail Kite actually eating a snail!
ReplyDeleteI swear I responded to this last week...blogger must have eaten my response!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you nailed it on the head for the duck ID. Those feral mallards like to hang out on Boynton Beach Blvd but they've been making appearances all fall/winter at Green Cay. Not every day but enough to throw people for a loop.
Beautiful photos as always Dawn. It looks like you had great time in Green Cay. That first shot of the Green Heron (one of my favorite birds too) is awesome!
