Black Vulture, August 31, 2016

Black Vultures, Coragyps atratus, can be found across much of the southeastern United States. If you look closely you can see the tips of white wing patches that are much more visible in flight. Black Vultures are scavengers, feeding on dead animals that they locate by their keen eyesight.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Althea, Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus

My trellis was not tall enough for the Moonflower Vine so it made its way over to a nearby Mammoth Sunflower. Moonflowers open at sunset and stay open until dawn.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

This one is leaning so precariously that I thought it might fall down before I could get a photo.

Have a Blessed Day!

Great Blue Heron, August 24, 2016

ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday and I'd Rather B Birdin'
G is for the Great Blue Heron

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, June 6, 2016

Great Blue Herons, Ardea Herodias, can be found across much of the United States and the southern parts of Canada. They are most often seen standing at the edges of lakes or ponds, watching the water for an unwary fish, their principal food. This one is standing on the pedestrian walkway beside the Tennessee River.

Their throats expand so they can swallow surprisingly large fish.

The time lapse between the first image and the third image - only 6 seconds!

Have a wonderful day!
