A trip to Pine Creek near Pennsylvania Grand Canyon
was a needed jane & barbi outing. It's so relaxing and
beautiful there.
Check out the blue sky
The tall mountains and the creek
Sitting by the creek and watching for what may come along
This Little Green Heron gave us a show
scratching his head
and flapping his wings
Looking across the creek at all the purple loosestrife
growing we also hear the 'shotgun' sounds of the Kingfisher
and saw him gliding above the water looking for his catch
of the day
He's a beauty
There were Great Blue Herons too
Standing stick straight as they always do
But the 'catch of the morning' so to speak was this King
bird who in mid air caught the biggest dragon fly
There was a a tree the storm had knocked down in the water
and he chose that site to wait
It didn't take long for baby 'King" to fly in
Mouth wide open...and mom tried to give him the
'super size' prize she has caught
If you click on the pictures you can see them in more
detail.... Now! Look at baby 'king' turn his head as if
to say.. "mom, that's too big"
Then mom has that OMG look on her face.. Kids!
They wanna eat but it has to be just the right size, maybe
I can break it in half on the branch..
Nope! no luck with that..
While baby 'king' cries she tries to figure it out
Getting tired of the game she decides to let
Jr. get his own breakfast
and..... she flies away and let him there keeping the
'super size' dragonfly for herself.
Stay tuned.... for the Eagle fun.. next post.
