We have had many long and short drives in the car.
Visited many lakes, ponds, bodies of water and parks.
Although we have enjoyed the rides,
I have not been seeing many interesting birds or notable wildlife.
There are 2 Egrets living at Lake of the Lilies, both very skittish and difficult to photograph.
One full grown, one is very tiny.
I took pictures of the tiny one, but none are "shareable"!
Great Egret
Is an elegant, stately, pure white, heron-like bird.
Larger than the Snowy Egret, it is present here only during spring and summer.
Red-Winged Blackbirds are everywhere at the lake.
This Blackbird is contender for North America's most abundant bird.
It is present year round here and has a beautiful, unforgettable song/call!
Killdeer also abundant and easy to photograph.
Boldly marked, long legged, noisy plover, they are present in this area year round.

I love the backgrounds in your photos. The blue water is pretty and I love the Kildeer and the sand. Enjoy your weekend!
Quite a difference in size from the egret to the Kildeer. Great photos, Debbie!
Hello Debbie :=) It's taken me a while to get here, but it's always a pleasure. Beautiful captures of all the birds. Killdeer, Black bird, and Great Heron, with lovely backgrounds.
My best wishes,
All the best.
Beautiful shots, I especially like the killdeer!
GREAT photos! Wow!
Love from Titti
Those red-winged blackbirds have got to send more babies to Kansas. I only see one a year. Linda in Kansas
Gorgeous photos as usual. Would you believe the WORDLE word for today was EGRET and my granddaughter didn’t know what it was?
Hello Debbie,
I was sure I left a comment for you, thanks for linking up and sharing your post. I enjoyed the beautiful Egrets, Red-winged Blackbird and the sweet Killdeer. It is nice to have these lakes and spots just a drive away.
Take care, have a happy new week!
I enjoyed all of your shots and also enjoyed liearning their names. Thanks..
Oh that Egret is so pretty all white like that. I will have to say my favorite is those killdeer they are just so cute with their pretty markings!
Happy 4th!!
