The Great Blue Heron is an early riser. One was hunting while it was still dark morning. When I reached the boardwalk, two Great Blue Herons flew over me so closely, I felt as if their long and elegant wings were sprinkling around the joy of this beautiful summer morning.
I was happy to see the morning procession of three American Coots!
When they approached their regular feeding place, one American Coot flapped its wings, beating and splashing the water making white splashing marks all the way to the feeding place. It was cute to watch the bird turn around and wait for the other two birds that were swimming to the feeding place. All three birds started to hunt together. I guessed that the mischievous bird was the one missing from yesterday’s morning procession.
I noticed that the format of the Algae has been changing. It is shrinking, becoming gooey looking. I was glad that I could see the fishes and turtles through small openings in the algae.
The young one dot Yellow-Crowned-Night Heron was on the barrier busy hunting. Sometimes, the bird is half walking, half running on the barrier, just like a two-year-old child happily and hurriedly running toward a waiting parent who is spreading their arms for their child to come.
The young one dot Yellow-Crowned-Night Heron is a fair bird. The bird does not claim two hunting places as the older one dot Yellow-Crowned-Night Heron had done. I was hoping that the young Yellow-Crowned-Night Heron that I have not seen the last few days would come back to the now vacant hunting place on the boardwalk.
The lower half layers of flowers on the Century Plant are done, and the flowers on the top half layers of the branches are blooming and attracting many bees as well as the Blue-Throated Hummingbirds.
The strange mushrooms were all gone leaving the remains of the blackened caps and flattened stems on the mulch.
