Seriously cool reflections Eric and a nice pair of Heron shots Amy - hard acts to follow. I was out walking a few days back and encountered some blooms in the weeds when I spotted the scene that would bee my wings for today

I like the look this has. It could make a nice painting or needlework.

Can anyone help me out, I'm not sure what family these juveniles come from....my best guess is Blue Heron, but really I have no idea.

Here is my shot for Winged Wednesday. Wood Ducks have been hard to find over the years, I would maybe see one in a year . This year has been different, they are at most of the parks I visit.

This is definitely not a blue heron, Amy but I have been searching it and can't find out so far. If I do get lucky I'll let you know.

It is really exciting to find these, Chuck. They are such beautiful birds. We are lucky to have them around here during the spring.

They breed here. We had 3 broods at one of the parks. I don't know how many made it.
