Nature Walks – Hawks, Herons And Hummingbirds

I went walk-about early this morning again. Once more, it is supposed to be another scorcher. If I don’t go early, I miss my window of opportunity to beat the heat. I went for a nice long walk at Metzger Farm again. I was on the lookout for anything and everything I could see. The things that made my camera snap today were the hawks, herons and hummingbirds. 🙂

I saw some Red-Tailed Hawks. Even though they were high in the trees, and far away, I was able to get quite a few good shots.

And I saw a Swainson’s Hawk too. These like to visit us in the summer months, then they fly way down South to Argentina to summer there as well. They are summer time hawks, or “fair-weathered” hawks. 🙂

I only saw one Heron today, again, he was way up in the tree.

I ended my photo shoot with a couple of decent shots of a Black-Chinned Hummingbird, perched on a wire.

It was a good day indeed. Make your day good and great too. 🙂
