American Bittern

Bill took me to the refuge (Ridgefield NWR) today. This was the best image of the day, but please visit my Flickr page, as there is a cute picture of a raccoon's hind quarters. I almost put that one up. Also there is a bad picture of a green-winged teal duck, the first I have seen of this duck. Too bad the lighting and distance conspired against me. We had sun and showers on our little drive around the refuge. There were a ton of little swallows in the air, dive bombing the bugs. In the landscape pictures, if you look close, you can see little black dots. Those are the swallows.

That's about it for today, kids. See ya later.
