Saturday Critters ~ 182 ~

I always see a lot of Egrets in Mystic, CT.,
this trip I did not see many.
We saw this one at Stonington Point, right after our breakfast at Noah's.
It was shy and skittish...it did not want anything to do with me.
What's up with these big birds...
I was so far away and newsflash...I don't have any wings!










This was such a wonderful trip to Mystic - 3 days, 2 nights,
cool temperatures, no crowds, awesome food...and my first ride on a sailboat.

We sent ourselves postcards...

Hello, pretty captures of the Egret. They must just be camera shy around you! I remember you posting about the postcards, it is a cute idea. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday! Wishing you a happy weekend!

Of course I don't see egrets living here.
But, at the last house I had,, we had cow birds.
I never understood why. We didn't had cows. :)

Sally said...

We didnt' HAVE cows.

Great pictures. The egrets must like you, they all seem to pose for you.

I do believe a heron can hear a camera click at 10 yrds! Great shots and it sounds like you two had a blast.

Pam said...

Beautiful. We do not have those types of birds in TN.
