Kevin identifies his first Cattle Egret!

Kevin stopped by last week with his friends on their way down to a Florida Keys fishing trip. We had a very nice pre-Father’s day dinner. Then, because he had expressed a little interest in birding, I gave him a copy of The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America. Who knew that he would start birding so soon! :D

    Yikes.

    You and Princess Gail have a terrific weekend. Hugs. :)

      Even birds should look both ways! :-)

    Ah yes… have learned several butterflies that way. Thankfully never something as large as an egret! (well, deer… but I KNOW them already)

    • Ferd June 24, 2011 at 11:26 PM

      LOL! I’ve “identified” a deer that way, too! :-)

    ARE YOU SERIOUS?! That isn’t a fake picture?? AWWW Poor Birdie! He never saw what hit him! The bird that is…

    • Ferd June 24, 2011 at 11:23 PM

      LOL! You’d have to know my son Kevin and his friends. I’m sure they ran into the bird by freak accident, and since I had just given him a birding field guide, he posed with it to send me this funny picture. He’s a riot!

  • Gail June 25, 2011 at 10:52 PM

    LOL! Not for the bird.

    • Ferd June 26, 2011 at 8:26 PM

      No, not so funny for the bird! But it is a funny picture! :-)

    I guess birding comes easy when your subject is so close.

    • Ferd June 26, 2011 at 8:24 PM

      Yeah, and it was not moving, either! LOL

  • Berryvox June 26, 2011 at 8:29 PM

    Ack! What a dreadful introduction to birding! Hilarious picture though.

    • Ferd June 26, 2011 at 8:54 PM

      Yes, hilarious! I hope this is just the thing to get his interest going. He’s an outdoors kind of guy anyway, so this would enhance his overall appreciation of nature.
