Don’t Bite Your Tongue…

black-crowned-night-heron-tongue-21406

It might be easy to confuse this juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron with an American Bittern. As an adult this bird will be gray with a black cap and back. But as a young heron the camouflage stripes on the throat look very similar to the bittern.

A Big Yawn…

I went fox hunting late yesterday and just at sunset I found this handsome but tired fox. She was digging and hunting for whatever she could find when she laid down for a rest. A moment later came the big yawn.

Dozens of Great Egrets and several Cormorants flocked together this morning in a shallow pond to go fishing. Cormorants swim underwater to catch fish and Great Egrets fish from above. It seemed like a bad time and place to be a fish.
