UP IN THE TREE TOPS WILDFLOWERS With these false sunflowers

With these false sunflowers

Before reaching the lake

if you stay with it

A trio of red-breasted mergansers spend a few hours swimming around Wildflower Lake diving occasionally looking for a meal of fish before they move northward on their spring migration

UP IN THE TREE TOPS WILDFLOWERS With these false sunflowersAfter photographing the wildflowers, I came upon these three (one off camera) green herons up in this dead peachleaf willow tree along Eakin Creek West at Wildflower Park. They were moving about the branches like they were having a good time but, perhaps they just wanted a height advantage to the creek in hopes of seeing prey below. (516 155)
