Bird, Butterfly, More Birds.


The first two scenes are in Shenandoah National Park. The rest are in our neighborhood.




The mallard ducks like to perch on a bale of barley straw that was put in the pond to help fight algae.

The long neck probably belongs to a great blue heron. He was standing in the water and the grassy bank blocked my view.

In the last photo, a male cardinal is perched on a heron statue. I'll take credit for the picture because I cropped it, but it was taken automatically by a wildlife camera.
Wild Bird Wednesday.
