Second trip to Lake Martin

Went back to Lake Martin on Sunday to see what changes have taken place. Daniel and Lee and Jason came with me. Jason just got a new camera and wanted to try his hand at nature photos.

The Spoonbills had gotten a little farther along in their mating process. They seemed to be pairing off and building nests. I bet they'd give anything for opposable thumbs!

Everything has to be just so...

I TOLD you not to touch that!!

The Egrets were definitely paired off and had well-established nests. We saw some Egret-nookie going on, and I shan't be surprised to see little Egret babies before too long...

Love, Egret Style

The Little Blue Herons were on alert looking for the odd frog or fish...

Got one!

And the ungainly Common Moorhen looked on with envy in his eyes...

Get a load of those feet!

Mama Gator and her pups were enjoying the sunny day...hoping a bird would stop by for a snack...

Here, birdy-birdy-birdy!

Jane--all really cool--even the gator babies-wasn't expecting those!! Would like more commentary, could hear you , boys and Lee, very faintly, Well you clearly, others less so.
