I was taking shots of this swan cruising the reservoir off Parkerville Road:
When this guy popped out of the brush:
A heron, I think? He didn’t stick around long:
Meanwhile, across the road, a gaggle of geese was loitering on someone’s lawn:

My dog had a great time chasing a gaggle (?) of 16+ turkeys this morning! Must be the day for wildlife! Have you ever seen a turkey fly to the top of a tree? Amazing!
These pictures are just beautiful. I was driving out White Bagley Road and I turned back to look out my rear window and was just amazed by how beautiful the resevoir looked with the ever changin trees. Our little nook of a town is so beautiufl this time of year.
Thanks for sharing your photography skills with us.
yes indeed that is a Great Blue Heron. LOVE that bird!
Debbie is right on target. They are quite shy hereabouts, but not on the Gulf Coast. I have stood next to one once – on a pier. The locals give them food!
He was beautiful in flight. I took the photo at the reservoir south of the Fay athletic fields on Parkerville. He flew north over the fields and across Main Street before I lost sight of him. Wonder where he was going.
