Taking in the sun

Two shovelers enjoying some nice weather at Constitution Gardens.

We haven’t been able to go there for a while, partly due to the excessive heat, which has eased this past week, and also because I can’t walk too far or too fast due to a bad knee. But we did see a great blue heron in the lake when we were driving by last week, so I’m determined to go and look for him, hopefully soon.

Excellent photo showing the shovel-bills of this interesting species. (We have one species of shoveler here, too.)

This is a great shot of the pair of shovelers! They seem to be standing on something that is transparent on the water ... nice reflections. I assume the one on the left is a male while the other is a female. V
