  These two black crowned herons were in a tree together, something I rarely see

 I saw lots of bird couples today

  I saw this great blue heron in the park, I don't see them too often.

Cormorant Party , (watercolor) 10x12 Original $450 matted prints 11x14 $35, 16x20 $60  This is a little painting I did from a sketch at the park.  These cormorants were all hanging out in the tree together.

 On my walk this day I saw squirrels, a butterfly, dragonfly, cormorant and turtle, as well as another observer sitting on a bench enjoying all the activity.  

I saw 6 black crowned night herons all together in a tree!  I've never seen more than one at a time before!  

Sketch journal 11/1/20       This is my sketch journal from 11/1/20, these are some of the things I saw while walking my dogs.  The dog walker in the corner had a certain way of walking that I tried to capture in the drawing.  On the upper right there's a squirrel, a kingfisher in the center, a hummingbird lower down and many mallards napping.  So much to see in one short walk!

I saw this green heron with it's neck extended, it's rare to see that, they look so different when they do this.  This shows why they are herons, otherwise they look very ordinary. This is what a green heron usually looks like.
