Photo Hunters: Birds

The Photo Hunters theme this week is birds! I am a little bit lucky to live in south Florida, because there are many, many strange birds in my own back yard. I like to sit in the window and watch them.

This bird is called a Great White Heron. I think he is fishing. Probably only skinny fish will be able to fit down his neck. Maybe some worms, too.

These big things are called Wood Storks. This is how babies are delivered.

This one is a Great Blue Heron. I think he might be the same as the white one. Only blue.

These are a bunch of Muscovy ducks. They poop on my patio.

These are a couple of Ibis. I like their curved beaks. I hope you enjoyed learning about birds.

A Funny Visitor!

So, as part of my SPYCAT duties, I was doing SURVEILLANCE. And LOOK what I saw! A funny bird. In my YARD! This bird is called a White Ibis.

He got very CLOSE to my house! But I do not think he is DANGEROUS. I think he was using his funny BEAK to look for BUGS.

Here is a BIGGER picture of him. We had to photograph him from INSIDE so he would not fly away. That is why the picture is not very GOOD.

Good-Bye, Mr. Ibis. Thank you for VISITING me. I hope you got some good BUGS to eat. Please SAVE some for me!

Monday Mystery: A Strollering Adventure

I got to go strollering again last week! It was a little bit chilly that morning (about 65 degrees), so I bundled up in my pretty pink sleeping bag first. We went out at sunrise. Here is a funny tree we saw. Do you like the trunk? I'll bet I could climb that tree if I tried!

Next we checked out the Wetland Preserve. It was still a little bit foggy outside. We did not see any alligators.

I hope you can see this pink bird. It is called a Roseate Spoonbill. We do not see those very often. My Mommie only took her little camera, so she did not get a very good picture of him.

Here I am back at home again. My Mommie has to wipe off the tires before we can go inside the house. Sometimes my stroller rolls over dirty things.

For today's Monday Mystery, you must guess the first thing I did when I got back inside:

A. I took a nap. Strollering is exhausting!
B. I had a snack and a drink of water.
C. I inspected the tires and climbed into the lower basket.
D. I was very excited and ran all around.

Do you know the answer? Watch this movie to see if you are correct:

Photo Hunters #60: I Spy

The Photo Hunters theme this week is: I spy. So, all this week I have been looking out my window for something interesting:

And look what I saw! A Little Blue Heron, a Little White Ibis, and a Wood Stork. The reeds by the side of the lake are all brown because we are in a drought. This means not enough water. It has been raining, so the reeds are underwater again. I hope they turn green. Here are the same Wood Stork and Ibis, and two little ducks. Guess which bird holds a special secret in the feathers?

There is a hint in this photo. Can you spy it?

Look! The Wood Stork has beautiful black feathers tucked away under all the white feathers. And he has very funny feets, too.

I wish I could have spied an alligator for you, but I have not seen him for a while. In case you still want to see an alligator in my backyard, click HERE for a link to some alligator pictures.
