Enraptured with Raptors and a shore bird in a bare tree.

I have learned to pay attention to the crows when I take my walks in the park. If they are squawking and wheeling and dive bombing, then some sort of interesting critter is present. Sometimes it is Wile E Coyote, looking rather miffed that his stealthy cover has been blown buy the annoyingly loud birds.

Toady it was a snowy egret, sitting in the top of a tree! I didn't know they could sit in tress...don't know why it never occurred to me ,but it didn't.

Here it is with one of its exuberant heralds...

better angle.

Across the park, a second group of crows was diving at an oak tree, such behavior I have learned means raptor...usually a hawk, and it was...

Ah, the paparazzi

 

These crows are driving me nuts, would you leave already so I can fly???

and that is what he did when I started to walk away with the squawking crows following in his wake.
