See the Birdie??!!!

4/26/09

Heading out on the first leg of my journey finds me in Napa Valley,  California. Home of all those wonderful vineyards. It was where I was raised and I still consider it home. While visiting with family I noticed this large bird on the tippy top of this tall tree. It is a Great Blue Heron and it is so large I can't believe he could balance himself on that skinny little branch! I watched him for quite awhile until he flew away. It was a nice treat.
Love my telephoto lens. These birds are really amazing. When they fly overhead they look just like how I would imagine the flying pterodactyls looked like in prehistoric days.
Next week I will be flying myself to Central America, so stay tuned! Actually I will be on a plane, but you knew that.
