WHILE ON THE DOCK--

When down to the dock each morning--
I often see this 'guy' come by for a quick visit--

He is a Boat Tailed Grackle
and yes he will 'steal' a peanut now and then--
Today he stood like this--
and then he did this--

Looked like a totally different bird really--
and a bit later-
I heard something up in the one branch over the ramp and looked up--

and seen a second one--
much smaller--

and he/she was also fluffing up her body--

and in the end--
the smaller one--looked almost as large as the adult one!!!!

Had both today--a female and a male cardinal--

and here is a different view--

Can you tell that we had a strong breeze coming off the river again today????

and took this photo as I came back across the street and started walking in the parking lot--
to come home--

Enjoy the moments, di
