Stuff out in the openspace grounds

[tamrock]

I took a quick ride on the bike out in the open space behind me. They're these wetland out there that are drying up now with a pair of what I now know are an American Avocet. They had what I could see 4 little one with them and they did not want me around. The one came after me and would buss at times a few feet of my head swoosh and circle around and do it again. It was making also a very loud sound I can't really explain. I did what I could to capture this bird in flight, as it came at me at a high speed.

That bunny is looking sleepy

It's a baby and every picture it looked sleepy eyed in the 3 pic's I took. Maybe it has allergies like I've got going out in this stuff?. It's mama was right behind.

The barn swallows here do the same thing. They get close and then flap their wings hard. When the wings hit, it's sort of like clapping. Guess it's the best they can do with hands that are covered in feathers!

Longest legged bird I have ever seen, maybe the cutest, bunny, and the bee is working pretty hard on that pollen. Very nice pics...

Love the shot of the flower and the bee.

Thank's BosnMate, that bee was sure moving in and around that flower and I was hoping I could get a nice picture looking directly on top of him as he had that beautiful iridescent green color. I'm not sure what it's called other then a "green hornet"
