It really isn't necessary for me to go out to the rice fields as I did for an earlier post. We have wetlands right here in Sun City and Jules and I took a walk there to see who we could find.

Many birds were perched in the trees at the edge of the wetlands.
Don't know who this little guy is but it sure is cute.
I'm pretty sure this is a yellow-rumped warbler.
Nothing unusual about these two, robins and hawks can be found everywhere.

| pied-billed grebe |
It was a cloudy day and this group was on the far side of a pond so it was hard to get a good shot. In addition to the ubiquitous mallards I spotted northern shovelers, American wigeons, and green-winged teals.

Of all the birds I saw that day, the one below would be worth the walk even if I had seen nothing else
.
This green heron was hunting just a few feet from the path. He slowly rotated allowing me several views.

You should share these beauties with us at I'd Rather B Birdin' (link on my personal blog). What a wonderful array of birds!
Great shots of the birds. I am partial to the green heron since I saw one in person.
Worth a Thousand Words
Great bird shots. The Green Heron is especially lovely. Not sure about the LBJ - I need to look that one up.
Hello. Wonderful serie of birds!
What a wonderful variety of birds! I'm a bit partial to herons and hawks, but that green egret is just fabulous!
beautiful series of photos. Love them.
have a great weekend
Great birding walk! I like the water and shore birds best too , not least because their patience allows me to occasionally get a decent photograph. I don’t do as well with the tiny flittering perching birds. You do beautifully with all of them
