Kildeer Closeup...

Finally got a decent picture of a Killdeer ... these guys are everywhere out at the Drying Beds, but they tend to blend into their background very well... I've struggled to get a sharp picture of one. Even this one had to be cropped very tightly because I caught the picture between blades of Johnson grass. Enjoy!

Happy Independence Day!

O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks
