しゅうまつをたのしみにしています。- I am looking forward to the weekend! 🌞

Another

day, another place. Last evening I visited a different open space park nearby. There is a creekside trail and it's a very popular spot that gets extremely busy when people come up from the city on weekends. Weekdays are much better.

I hiked a small loop and didn't see much interesting to photograph until the sun was about to set. As I walked along the creek I suddenly came upon an egret standing in the water. This was a rare opportunity for me because egrets are very skittish and they don't usually let you come too close. This bird gave me a few minutes when it was slowly walking in the water looking for dinner. I got a few decent shots of out that!

Next was a cute small bird I spotted diving in and out of the water. It's am American Dipper. These birds eat insects, fish eggs and very small fish. It was great fun photographing this little guy.

I took a few shots of creek before the sun disappeared and drove home satisfied.

Have a great weekend!

    What a coincidence! I went hiking last weekend and found a brown dipper at a mountain stream. I observed him for a while to keep on flying many times to collect the food for his children. I took some photos of him, and I would like to post about the hiking. Thank you so much for posting this! Your posts are always interesting to me! Have a great weekend too!

    It’s amazing that you can witness those wildlife in such a close distance! I only see them flying high in the sky, or maybe in the zoo ;)

    @hoko Thank you! I have a superzoom camera, so I am limited on the zoom to 24x. This heron was maybe 5 meters away, which is closer than any other heron I have been able to photograph. 😊

    @Naoko Yes, that is the benefit of living away from the city. I would have have it any other way. Thank you for commenting! 😃
