Just Wings — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

As we wait for the schooner races and other festivities over the Labor Day Weekend, here are some winged friends who aren’t quite so excited.

This stare is all business. A Black-crowned Night Heron at Niles Pond.
Earlier, Dad Finch stood in the rain while Mom sat on her second clutch of eggs.
Hank Heron (Great Blue) is back in his tree outside our guest room.
A “Ragged Robin” (bird not plant) looks a bit the worse for wear.
Swarming Swallows landing for a break on the rocks, between insect intercept missions.
A juvenile Green Heron steps stealthily to the edge of the rock, on Niles Pond.
Concentrating on something, then losing interest and flying off.
Mallards and a Little Blue Heron contributing to “poop rock.”
A strutting young male Turkey prepping for next spring’s mating season.
Another Little Blue Heron with a great tree-top view fifty feet above Niles Pond.
And yet another flying across the pond to its next perch.
Female bees with “saddlebags” (pollen sacs) on their back legs, while collecting nectar.
The bees mix the pollen with some nectar and store it in the sacs for the return to the hive.
