It looks like the largest whoopie cushion one can buy is 17 inches and this is not nearly large enough.

A Piping Plover chick from last Sunday! I believe this is Ferris, though I’m not positive.
They were all over Montrose Beach looking for breakfast in the sand.

Black Crowned Night Heron. I just want to hold one of these bad boys; they look so smooth and soft!
(I would never actually try to hold one).
This is Myron and he’s annoyed at the lack of fish in the river.

I’m so excited about this shot! Had my camera in place just as the barn swallow swooped in towards the young ones, who started demanding food.
So cool!

A Spotted Sandpiper nervously eyeing a Peregrine Falcon that just landed on the tower at Montrose. He was sounding the alarm and bouncing his butt up and down.

Peregrine Falcon at Montrose Beach today. The black band on top says “30” and the blue band has an “E”.
Anyone know how to find out info on this dude?

One of the Piping Plover chicks laying flat in the sand. This was when a Peregrine Falcon had landed nearby— all the birds were fluting & piping alerts. I am assuming this was a defensive/hide position from the chick due to the falcon.

What’s everyone’s favorite way of relaxing? All I can ever think of are very hot hot tubs and sky diving, but unfortunately both are unreasonable asks at the moment.

Great Blue Heron over at River Park.
I’m so excited about this shot; I love his head feathers trailing behind in the wind!
(This is Rogers, by the way. He got the full portrait package)
