The birds of Buchli Station

I noticed this is becoming a bird blog - so today I will go with it.
Great White Egret (Not Great White Heron - I always have to look it up)


Great Blue Heron 


Red Tail Hawk (Didn't get a good look at tail - I'll ask Stephanie when she returns from Chile)



Here is my guess - Dowitchers --- I think Long billed Dowitcher rather than Short billed Dowitcher

OMG! Jennifer your pictures are amazing. I've been trying to get a good shot of a white egret for a looooong time (of course, my camera is not of the same quality) but, they don't stay in one place for very long. That is amazing.

Well Claire - my new camera has a really good lens. I realized I put the blurry Egret photo - I am still playing with the auto focus on moving targets. Lea and Kerry are giving me lots of practice.
