Avian Visitors

We have seen a great many birds on the other side of the fence. There are flocks of ducks who fly in and out along the river and we have seen both the Golden and Bald Eagles. We have seen this Great Egret flying by several times, but this morning it flew by, circled then landed in this snag just beyond the fence. It stayed long enough for me to get the camera and go outside to get a picture. With its huge yellow beak and black legs, it's a beautiful specimen.

Unfortunately, it didn't stay long, but flew back up the river...

The other bird we have seen recently was running along on the other side of the fence, staying ahead of some walkers who never even saw it. Later, we saw it again sitting on a fence post.

There are quite a few of these pretty Roadrunners around the RV park, if you look carefully. They blend very well with the brush and can sit very still. I'm sure they think you can't see them.

Yesterday was a very nice warm day and today was even better. It's the perfect kind of weather as far as I'm concerned. It got into the high eighties with lots of sunshine. Unfortunately, I made myself stick to business inside the RV. I had printed off all of the 2014 bank statements yesterday and today I started putting them all into Quicken so that I can print off a report for our accountant. I kept working at it and actually got all the way through June.
