To me SPRING is the season of renewal and new life.
During the past several weeks I’ve been visiting Circle B Bar Reserve photographing migrating birds and other Florida wildlife. One of my favorite sights has been watching this immature Great Blue Heron in its nest high above the ground. It was surprising to find it still clamoring for food this week it looks as if it shouldn’t be long before it can fly and hunt for its own food.

Here in Connecticut, spring means little birds, like robins and mourning doves. That you could see such an incredible sight–oh my! (Does rather remind me of human teenagers a bit…)

Oh yes, robins are a sure sign of Spring in the northeast! Teenager is a fitting tag for this one.

As soon as he gets rid of his ‘bed hair’ look maybe he’ll make an effort to spread his wings.

I like the term ‘bed hair’ 🙂 – would be great if I could be there when it takes flight!

I have never seen a baby blue heron…again, I am so jealous…and I am jealous of that shot too! Incredible. I am going to send a link of this to my inlaws…they have blue herons at their lake and will find this fascinating!

Thanks Mike. This time of the year there is so little moisture in the air plus I just added a good polarizer 🙂

Baby birds, baby lambs and calves and of course kittens! This is a wonderful photo of that immature heron with its eyes focused on mama. Am also looking forward to the bird cams over at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology which allow such a closeup view of the nesting activities of raptors and other birds. A definite renewal after the long dreary winter! Can hardly wait!
