May 22
May 22, 2008 by OrientSee.
Today was a day of missed opportunities or maybe not. An American Bittern leaped out of the Phragmites from right beside me near the corner of Lawn and Leverett Avenues. The camera was hanging from my neck. Further along a Baltimore Oriole flitted from tree to tree but there was too much vegetation to get a clear shot. Close to the Overlook, I startled something making the most horrible kinds of noise until it flew into view. It was a Black-crown Night Heron and of course the camera was dangling from its strap. Out at the Overlook, a solitary Great Egret took one look at me and flew off. Two Bobolinks were here and there on the mound in the park but not very close. I began to realize that the pictures didn’t mean that much. I did get to see these birds and enjoy them and that was more than good enough. After all I did get to catch this ladybug.
Ciao!
