Walsingham Park

It was a good day to take Susie for a walk. It's a great day, when I can get a picture of a bird that I haven't photographed in the past. Today's bird is the Loggerhead Shrike. I was about to give up finding his name in the National Audoubon Society Field Guide, when his picture popped up towards the end of Pearching Birds section of the book.

I also got a pretty good shot of a Great Blue Heron standing on the little island. I think I'm going to need to take my kayak over here. Because not only was the Heron standing on the island; so was Deb's "favorite bird", the Limpkin. (Limpkins make too much noise at night for Deb's ears.)

Someone has to tell this Limpkin he's supposed to be sleeping. Limpkins are said to be very active at night. That's why Deb hears there crys at night.

Hey Deb, you should move near Walsingham Park. Those Limpkins seem to like the daylight hours.



I don't under stand people. They walk, bike, or jog through the park hooked up to their iPods. I can understand the area next to Walsingham Road, because then you can hear the cars. But the rest of the trail is full of nature's music. Today an Osprey caught a fish, and it set the rest of them off. Including this one standing on the light pole, in the ball park. Either this one was giving the other a chear or begging the other to share the catch. I think it is the latter. When one catches a meal, the others try to take it away.
