A Great White Egret rests in a tree far from any road. The tree is next to a farm field which has been flooded since early spring. Several of these magnificent birds were seen, and they may have a nest somewhere in these thick trees.
A gaggle of Canada Geese is enjoying a summer day on the banks of the White River. Several have already entered the water and the rest seem to be pondering the wisdom of this move. Several are acting as sentries to make sure that nothing is sneaking up on them.
These Great-crested Grebes were photographed in a town called Medemblik in the Netherlands. This bird was nesting under a pier. The mother and baby can be seen in these pictures. The male and another juvenile were nearby. Our thanks to Meg Roach for passing along these pictures from her recent European trip.
