Blog Post #9380, "Birds" Post #1290
In yesterday's post, I shared
pictures of Marie walking Charlie in Seven Bends State Park. Today’s pictures
are from that same occasion. Marie’s visit was very short, staying just one
night because she needed to go back to work.
As we crossed the river to enter the park, Marie saw a great blue heron.
Intent on fishing, it did not turn around to look at us.
I’ve taken better pictures of herons, but this is just a quick cell phone
snapshot that I took from the car.
Since the trails were still covered with snow, we took a walk on Lupton Road
past the gate. A small bird was perched on one of the bluebird houses, and I
think it was a bluebird, although it flew off before I got close.
The Massanutten Range was shrouded in mist, as vapor rose from the melting
snow.
We also saw geese flying overhead. They disappeared behind the trees, but
reappeared on the other side.
Blogging Note: I had difficulty inserting photos in this post. I switched to
the Opera browser and got a message saying that I needed to accept cookies
