We have watched as the ponds and tanks have dried up all around. We wonder if that isn't why we are seeing more and more herons in Yettie Polk Park.
Today was a high - 4 Yellow-crowned Night-Herons, 8 Green Herons, and 3 Great Blues. At one point a GB flew over to move a YCNH from a prime fishing spot we guess. (I need a better camera).
We were in the park a few minutes earlier - maybe that made the difference. I wish I'd been keeping daily lists, but I haven't - it's been a now-and-again thing.
The crows were out too. As were the pigeons and sparrows and swallows. A new feral cat showed up. He was "backed into a corner of sorts" - on a rock in the stream. Every cell was prepared to fight. He watched our dogs closely as we passed by.
New feral cat . He looked more ferocious than this photo shows.
