I was looking at my most recent posts and realize that almost all of them revolve around birds. Even Penny has noticed my obsession.

But I can’t help it. They’re so beautiful, and interesting, and entertaining. I could watch them all day.

Wait!

Sometimes I do watch them all day! Like Easter Sunday when I went out to Kensington on my own. I figured it wouldn’t be busy because everybody else would be getting ready for church or family dinners or both.

I was wrong. There were plenty of people, mostly photographers, out there. But we all work around each other and it’s fine.

I started out walking on the boardwalk near the heron rookery, an island with huge trees filled with heron nests. Every year the heron couples choose a nest and then have a set of little herons there.

It’s fascinating to watch.

Easter Sunday there was much heron coming and going as the couples updated their fixer-uppers in order to make them meet current esthetics. They definitely favor wood floors over carpet.

I spent a long time out there on the boardwalk watching all the work being done, and then I wandered back into the woods to see what else might be around.

Stay tuned.
