Birds of a Feather...


"Birds of a feather, flock together."  That was what came to mind when I was trying to think of a title for this photograph of two birds sharing a rock for a moment.  The big one is some kind of Heron - sorry that's the best I can do - and the small one is a Herring gull.  Actually, they are not of the same feather, becuse they are two different types of birds, but I was desperate for a title.  I am not sure why I thought this was interesting but I don't normally see two different birds sharing a rock.

  1. I like this photo focusing on two different birds sharing a rock and facing opposite directions - probably hoping the other will fly away :-) I got out a bird book so I could check what kind of Heron. Might be a Green Heron. betsey

  2. Betsey, I also got out my bird book this morning and thought it might be a Black Crowned Night Heron or Yellow Crowned Night Heron based on the lightness of his cheeks. Hard to tell because color is dark.
