Saturday's Critters ~ 8/2023

 

Geese on the pond, and then I mowed too close
and....
They were outta here!



The heat is relentless- I don't know why horses like to stand out in the middle 
of the field instead of getting under some shade.  Dakota (left) is 34 
and Lil Man is 23.  (Where is the time going?) Weve been carrying out watermelon
 in the evening for them as a treat.  Very surprised they liked it, but it is nice and cold. 


Out at the lake... the grey heron is waiting...I don't know what for, this one was definitely not even looking at the water. 


Yes ma'am,
It's hot!


Sir Heron, or Mrs, look at that cool water, right in front of you!  
You could at least dabble your toes a bit. 



Oh well yes, good decision, good decision! We watched this gator for a while and then he dove under and disappeared.  The heron just stared off into the distance like he didn't have a care in the world. 


And back home, these were recent visitors to our pond that my husband 
tried to photograph while I was gone to town. 
I have never seen them before. The closest look alike I could find online were
 the Tricolored Herons, but I don't know.  I haven't seen them again.  :(
