Birding II Field Trip to Gilbert Water Ranch
GREEN HERON (Butorides virescens)
Its Super Bowl Sunday and, appropriately so, we are at the Super Bowl of birding spots in Arizona - Gilbert Water Ranch (a.k.a. Gilbert Riparian Preserve). I'm taking More Birding with Cynthia Donald offered by Desert Botanical Gardens. Cynthia runs a great class and wonderful field trips!
I'll write more soon, I'm beat! Here's a slide show of our field trip. As you'll see, I coudn't get enough of the Green Heron spotted at the very end of the field trip, within a few feet of the sidewalk! Double-click on the image below to see an enlarged version.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera do you use?
Thanks. I use a Sony Cybershot w/ 12x optical zoom, usually set at automatic everything. I just point and shoot, nothing fancy.
