Mother Hen and Her Chicks

Glimpses of Blue

So the other day, well Mother's Day to be exact, we were walking through the preserve and I'm admiring the beautiful color of this tree's blossoms. What would I see land in the tree? None other than a gorgeous Blue Jay who looks even more striking in the tree. Sure enough I get the camera aimed at him and focused and just before I can snap the picture...


He flies away.

Baltimore Beauty

My first sighting of a Baltimore Oriole and I got him captured in pictures. I followed this guy around the tree for a good fifteen minutes. I loved the contrast of the orange with the light pink blossoms.
