urban wildlife – Careful Now!

It’s the latest avian dance craze!

If you’re an egret
you won’t regret
jivin’ with your neck
so do it, by heck!

Do the Wiggle!

Central Park looking nice and cleaned up. With some weird little big-eared creature photo-bombing.

“You shall not pass!”

Looks like a female night heron, but I’m not ornithologist.

Great blue heron.

There were no owls to be seen, but happily there was plenty of other wildlife.

A not too great photo of a hooded oriole. A rare but welcome visitor.

I never understood why Ernest Shepherd, who did the illustrations for the Winnie the Pooh books that I read as a kid, drew owls like he did.

Until I saw the owls in Central Park.

Nailed it.

Time to take in the Halloween decorations already…

Quite rare to see these around here. It was so nice of them to hold still for the photo.

More spots, more luck! I’ll take it!

This particular house had 8 in the front yard. They’re big birds. The lawn was in the process of being torn up.

Coming home from the track, I like to drive around the neighboring tracts, because this part of Arcadia is Peacock Central.

When I was little, I would have been climbing all over this thing.

I’d say there are geese about.

Bingo!

You may call me Daniela Boone!
