I went over to my back yard today. :-) The sun was beginning to set, and it was hitting the golden hours that photogs love. I went back out to the marsh area behind the barn to the Heron rookery. The Herons are incubating their eggs now, and they pretty much staying on their nests. The Geese cared more about me being there than the Herons. :-)
Took a few pics and posted them on the OOS site: http://www.ohiobirds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1055
I wish that I could paint a picture of the bird songs that were going on all around me. Flickers, Red Heads, Downys, GBHs of course, Geese, ducks of all kinds, and as I was taking the pic of the sunset; a Great Horned Owl hooting in the BG and two Woodcocks buzzing...Truly amazing and inspiring.
While there I noticed a pair of Red Headed woodpeckers with their new nesting hole.
The Great horned Owl was hooting off to the north of the Rookery. I stayed and listened for a while and it seemed to be pretty stationary. As I was walking back down the path towards the other areas, I could hear the Woodcocks off to the south, maybe twenty feet away.
See you out there.
Happy Birding and God bless.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
(Matthew 10.29-31)
