Yet another outing

Clovispup and I forwent the weekly range trip and went to a local(ish) Audubon preserve, the Francis Beidler Forest. It is a Tupelo Cypress swamp with a couple miles of boardwalk that is home to lots of birds, plants and other wildlife. Anyway, the Pup took most of the pics.

Pretty sure I took this one, and the rest are by the Pup.

Both of these are yellow crested night herons. The first one caught a crayfish while we were watching.

I love the look of this one. A different bug with more color would be nice, but you take your opportunities a they appear.

This is a prothonotory warbler. Two of them were making a nest in a cypress knee.

And yet another warbler, or is it the same one?

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos and for describing your time with Clovispup.

I like them all, but the colorless bug on the leaves with that great shadow is especially cool.
