A Great Egret looks downstream as it rests on a branch near sundown on a recent evening at McHenry Dam State Park, Illinois.
Happy Wing Wednesday
This incredible super mummy and Sumatran Tiger is called Kirana. I'm sure those photographers who were regulars at Chester Zoo will know her fondly because she is a natural at posing. I rest my case!!
Kirana is now enjoying retirement at the Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent. She clearly enjoys attention though, even on a hot afternoon and from what I observed yesterday, has settled in really well.

Thanks for your views and comments and have a great weekend!
Limpkin taken at Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Florida in May 2019.
This wasn't our first visit to the reserve but it was our first walk along the Alligator Alley Trail which had previously been closed due to damage caused by Hurricane Irma in Sept 2017. It was also great to catch up with our friends Mark and Linda Schocken again.
Saturday, several of us are gathered at Commonwealth Lake (at safe distancing), waiting for the osprey. Finally, one showed up, and did take the strike position a few times, but never took a dive.
Striated Fieldwren (Calamanthus fuliginosus)
Images today are from a visit to Truganina Park on this day in 2019.
As I wandered along the southern bank of Laverton I met Flickr mate and fellow birder Rodger www.flickr.com/photos/62434662@N05 with a couple of other birders who were on a Birdlife walk in the area. They told me they had heard a Fieldwren further along. Sure enough as walked I heard the call and was happy to see it pop up unto this branch and stay long enough for a couple of shots.
The flower these insects chose as a stopping place was less than two inches in diameter. At first glance, I thought the green bits on top of the flower were little bits of leaves. Upon further examination, I discovered they were insects. A quick dash up the stairs of my house allowed me to grab my camera, all the while whispering the mantra...'Don't move, don't move!' Imagine my surprise when I returned to find them still posing for me. Less than two minutes later, they hopped away. Whew!
