Alright, I am going to say it right out... I am not cool. Like anyone thought I was. But this morning I realized how far gone I was when I found myself heading out at 7am with binoculars in hand to walk at the Celery Farm and look at birds along the way. I don't think I ever saw that in the rule book for cool. But I guess that is the good thing about being 44..I don't really care about being cool anymore. But I am not yet a full fledged birder either. I meet up with people on the trails and they will ask whayt birds I have seen and I will say, "Oh I saw one that had some red and yellow on its wing." At that point they just smile and walk away, not really. I have found that birders are excited to share their knowledge with other people out there and I have been enjoying the education. So this first picture is a red-winged black bird...
This is a Hairy Woodpecker (Or is it furry?) Who knows?
These are Egrets and this last picture is of a North American Alligator...Not really but had you going for a moment there didn't I?
