Refuge Friday

 The refuge is drying out quickly. Water is low and scummy in many places and non-existent in many others. Not much in the way of wildlife..not counting gulls and geese.

Here's a few of the few photos that I took.

Eastern Kingbird..flycatcher..

Fluffy Egret..

Backyard birds..with some flowers...

 It's the time of year that the hummingbirds spend a lot of time at the feeders and the flowers, allowing for better action shots. I've been fortunate that I've been able to spend quite a bit of time watching the birds. 

Here's some of my favorites...

Beauty in the flowers....
