Their plumage is so pretty but that big ol' beak is just so big it makes them a little exotic. Every time I see a Killdeer i think about the first time I saw one - in the desert in Arizona. I thought it was such an odd bird to find in such a dry place.Duwan @MakeLikeAnApemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539654218642416225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-53318478692407912722021-05-09T14:01:27.767-04:002021-05-09T14:01:27.767-04:00Hi friend David,

Could you not give those beautiful plover some privacy when they started working on their offspring? Wonderful to see all those ducks and all those beautiful waders. The Blue Heron series is also incredibly beautiful to see. I enjoyed your photos again :-)<br />Big hug from the Netherlands xx<br />HelmaHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-15467971317963771332021-05-08T06:51:11.342-04:002021-05-08T06:51:11.342-04:00Being a fan of waders, I had such a selection to l...Being a fan of waders, I had such a selection to like here.

Rather poor showing, but I was happy for the chances to photograph them. Even happier (bird-wise) to see all of your beauties. Thank you both. I agree with you about the male Wood Duck. I have had a chance now to see and photograph them a few times, but I still think they don’t look quite real!Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-78746439210982710712021-05-07T13:21:21.151-04:002021-05-07T13:21:21.151-04:00You have quite a bit of lovely photos despite the ...You have quite a bit of lovely photos despite the restrictions. The town next to us, Mt. Juliet, caters to the purple martin population, and many martin houses are seen in the outlying areas. It is always a treat to see them swoop around the freeway intersection at dusk when the lights come on to attract flying insects.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506141901518297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-91351085364391943932021-05-07T07:07:41.842-04:002021-05-07T07:07:41.842-04:00I wonder what they were doing, Angie?I wonder what they were doing, Angie?David M.

There seems no logic or reason as I know many indoor places remain closed or with serious restrictions. All-in-all I enjoyed your outdoor nature sightings and overlooking a marsh is a lovely lunch spot. My husband would so agree. The killdeers can be entertaining and I liked your joke about heir conditioning. And, great blue heron are great fish catchers.Beatrice P.
