Having Title Fun
Did my title get you to click? Did you just need to take a peak and see the Bunny? Or did you click for the Feathered Friend? Perhaps it was the word Bluff that got you? Wondering if there is even a picture of a feathered friend or maybe just maybe a Bunny. But what kind of a bunny? Well I guess it is time for the reveal.
First in the title "Feathered Friends", I only have the one picture of a feathered friend to share. This is a mature Alaskan Sand Hill Crane. You can tell it is a mature bird by the shiny red head. (Okay I am not that smart, I did not know that little fact until I looked on google).
This photo was taken today at 4:53 PM down by the cannery. This area has become one of our favorite spots for watching the birds. This is the same area I got those nice close ups of the eagle a week or so ago.
Not taken today but on Thursday morning from the upstairs window. We get a little bit of wildlife passing through and playing in our yard.
I actually saved three images to do a Thursday post but never got around to it, so I thought I would tease with Bunny in the title. A few days back either him or one of its buddies jumped up on the deck to eat all the tid bits my wife had left for the birds.
And to finish out the post the Bluff part of the post title. The Kenai Bluff as viewed from the cannery area where we watch the birds. I wish it would have come out more sharp, but still I thought I would share the view with you.
The day started out somewhat overcast, and as we were getting ready for our Sunday jaunt, it had started to sprinkle. The Sterling Zoo is back open on Sundays for the summer, so we took our zoo deposits up north to dispose of. (okay it is not a real zoo, just the sterling transfer station for refuse). I think I did a post last year or the year before about it, perhaps I will do another one or my wife do one.
Well on our way back from the zoo drive/dump, it was still a little cloudy, but things were brightening up as we headed back toward town. We drove out to one of the pingo lake/ponds to see if there any nice cloud reflections to capture, but alas it was a little breezy and no calm waters, so we struck out on that part of the picture taking.
Well after some shopping and quick empty stop at the Kenai Wetlands viewing area, (no birds close enough for pictures), we decide to go ahead and get a picnic meal at our favorite restaurant, and head down to the cannery for the meal and bird watching.
So all in all it was a pretty nice Sunday, i hope you all had a fun Sunday where you are.
Do you ever wish you could just write about what you want, share what you want to share? Maybe the Hive Block Chain could fit your style.
That bird is bigger than a dog!! Could it fly? Very heavy looking bird!
They are pretty good sized birds, and are seem to be quite graceful in the sky when flying.
Hi there, long time not been here, have I! LOL. "Feathered Friends Bunny Bluff" ... I tried to say it 4 times very quickly .... got a buff bunny, hahaha! I enjoyed this, and hope you're well.
Yes doing pretty good, enjoying the Hive, and really enjoying the return of some of the authors I like. I may not have as much time for reading but I do try to make some time. And I still like to play with words, and learn. So it has been a fun couple of months.
Nature is so full of new friends! But often people don't deserve this kind of friendship with the animals..
We are lucky in Alaska we have a lot of wild life and beauty to view.
