A Great Blue Heron watching me very closely in Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

A male Sparrowhawk, seen in my garden, constantly alert, ready to catch it's next meal.

Or maybe just wondering how Orcs know what a menu is.

Brolga (Grus rubicunda)

Always good to see the Brolgas at the Western Treatment Plant. Hopefully it will be open for birding again soon.

From the archives.

We always look forward to capturing the Kestrel. It’s one of the hardest birds of prey for us to capture as they are usually up high and are quite skittish. The American kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. It hunts insects, small mammals, and reptiles from a perch or on the wing. Will hover above a field on rapidly beating wings, or soar in place in strong winds above a hillside.

Spot-billed ducks

This juvenile White-tailed Deer was about to stomp its foot as an alert signal, after it spotted me taking pictures of it. Surprisingly, this deer was more concerned about my presence than its mother, which was feeding contentedly nearby. Photo was taken in Kanata, Ontario in 2015.

Was in bright sun, so I can't see her eyes in this one but I still liked it.

Anyhoo, I'm just posting a couple tonight as I haven't been on for a few days.

If I'm behind in visits or returning visits to you, I'm sorry.

I'm on a self-retrieval mission lately.

I will catch up, soon as.

Fish dinner tonight - Enjoy your weekend :)

It has been a rather wet day, The rain didn't stop Sethi from going outside where I saw him sitting on a garden box from where he can watch what is going on in our street. I'm not sure what he saw but it must have been fascinating. :)
