On a Monday....

This woodpecker was across the street on my neighbor's tree this morning...
My friend peggy of paddletales emailed me that she was going to go out paddling after many days of feeling puny and I jumped at the chance since I had missed my weekend paddling this past weekend. I saw this otter before I caught up to Peggy, at the beginning of this trip down the Wacissa.
These limpkins and the ibis looked like old friends hanging out, to me.
It was very windy today, which made it chilly, but just before we turned around we heard a jet flying low and slow. I figured there would be at least one more and I snapped this one which was the third in the group. So what kind of jet is it?
The birds were rather scarce today but this heron was taunting us as we returned upriver. I am pretty excited to find out that Geoff Hill, PhD is coming to Tall Timbers this coming Thursday to discuss his research and his book about Ivory Bills. I probably won't sing him The Ivory Bill Blues, however...
