We saw turtles and fish and turkey vultures and a kingfisher. I was just playing an audio of the call of the kingfisher to make sure I had the identification right. I never got to see the bird clearly, I just thought from the way it flew and the call that must be what it was. Turtle, our cat, was interested in the call, too, and apparently thought I'd brought one home. We also saw this little blue heron fishing along the bank. He was braver than the great blue heron we saw last time. He let us get fairly close and never flew away. All these photos were taken with the same iPhone, but the heron one looks weird to me, almost like a painting. I wonder if Jack took it through the plastic bag he had his phone in.
Pretty...thanks for the pics.
ReplyDeleteIt is my favorite time of year. After a sweltering summer, I can look forward to refreshing chilly temperatures.
DeleteI'm so glad that you got a chance to have another great day out canoeing. It's always a good day when you see a heron, and the trees are lovely. I can't imagine turtles swimming around in the wild and I'm just going to google turkey vulture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day! I hope you get a few more canoeing adventures in before it gets too cold!
ReplyDeleteI hope we do, too! I love fall, especially that mix of coolness and warmth. And those dark days when I don't feel guilty staying in and reading!
DeleteLovely photos Joan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peggy. It was a perfectly gorgeous day. I hope we get a few more of those before winter sets in. We can keep canoeing until it gets too cold to be comfortable.
