    Peach-colored bird spotted in Ulster County NY

    Grey Heron and its prey

    One mighty swoop then a dive to capture this little vole. The Heron proceeded to drown the vole before flying off to swallow it. I captured the whole sequence. These are just a couple of the shots.

    I was watching this Heron at the far end of the pond, just a little too far for good quality images when it made an immediate dive to the centre. What did it see?

    Roadrunner

    This roadrunner is one of a mated pair that lives on my acre. Last year, it decided to follow me as I gardened because I would throw the grub worms out. Now, it will come quite close if it sees things it wants to eat. I'm able to talk to it as it goes about it's roadrunner business.
