Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #HeronsandEgrets

A few years ago I discovered the nearby heron and egret rookery. I love to go there in May when the birds are nesting. It is fun to watch the birds and also to listen to them.

Here is a snowy egret.

On my morning walk I spotted a big bird on a roof. I think it is a turkey vulture.

We visited Yosemite National Park recently. In the distance you can see Half Dome with several other rock/mountains on either side.

Many burned or partially burned trees look JetBlack. It seems like there are many pockets of burned trees in the park. I also saw young trees growing.
