Little green heron

The feral cat hung around waiting for breakfast.  When I was leaving for my morning appointment, I was surprised by a house wren singing atop the bluebird house.  What ambition!  But later, the same wren or another was moving into the birdhouse hanging in the back. 

We moved a sculpture and discovered an ant nest beneath.  Up on the lake, the turtles were basking in the afternoon sun.  Toward evening, I was puzzled by a strange bird perched on a dock piling.  After a bit, I realized it was a green heron that the low sun was turning red.  Then the camera battery announced its imminent demise.  Then a couple of wood duck drakes came paddling by.   I kept snapping and hoped for the best.
