“pictures of birds on trees” /We Discovered a Bird Fishing!

Yesterday we were at the wildlife refuge and we were walking down a narrow path. It had tall grass and bushes on each side and there were butterflies flitting here and there. I would follow one hoping it would sit down for a second so I could take its picture. And there were one or two that obliged. In fact one seemed very friendly and appeared to want its picture taken. It followed us out to the bay area where we could see for several miles over open water. The thing that impressed me most was how quiet it was. For most of the time Beth and I were alone with the plants, animals and insects. At one point Beth pointed out a bird down to the left of our path. I would have totally missed it because it was frozen behind some undergrowth while it tried to catch a fish. It was still there fifteen minutes later when we returned to that spot. Most of the folks I know are no where near as patient as this bird. Even a fisherman will pull out his line once in awhile. This bird was in the same position we left it with one foot in the air ready to strike. I don’t know if he ever caught his dinner. But he earned my award for patience and fortitude in the line of duty.

This photo was taken out in a nature preserve. Most of the bird photos I have in here were not. Many were taken in Disney World. So I am particularly fond of this one. And hope I can take more like it in the future.
