Egrets and great blue herons sharing the prime fishing spot downstream of the Zink Lake Dam.
More sharing downstream of the dam.
A closeup of a great blue heron.
Here is one fishing with one leg. Or maybe sleeping. I don’t know, its eyes are open.
And a human fishing from the rocks at the dam.
Headed back to the car on the bike path I come upon this gaggle of geese.
These pics are from my bike ride early this week. My knee has been feeling much better. I woke Wednesday and I had some bad back spasms. My wife drove me to the Urgent Care and the on duty Nurse Practioner, prescribed me some muscle relaxers, and she gave me the old man side to side hug telling me that I should take a week off from my bicycling, hiking, weight training, and yoga. My wife was in there and thought it was a hoot that I am officially elderly and harmless in the medical world’s eyes. I’m good with it, I will never say no to hug from somebody nice. So this morning (Saturday) I woke up and I think I might live for a little while longer. Yesterday I wasn’t so sure. Tell you what though, the medication makes me not want to drink alcohol. I’m afraid my stash might be getting out of date.

…heron and egrets are among my favorite. We have too many geese!
Hello Yogi,
I love your beautiful egrets and the herons and the geese. Great photos.
I hope you continue to improve and feel better.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Love the photos.
I hope your back feels 100% better soon.
It is wonderful to see many beautiful egrets and herons enjoying the water! The ducks are enjoying eating the grass and leaving some fertilizer behind…lol
My favourite bird!
Lovely captures of the birds.
Good to know your are feeling better. Best wishes!
Lindas aves. te mando un beso.
Wonderful photos. Great birds.
Great photos! Back pain is the worst! I hope you feel better soon.
I know what you mean. I’m older than you and I’ve sure felt it this summer with my foot bothering me. I hate taking it easy with my foot on an ice pack. I want to be out in nature. But sometimes we have to slow down so that we can have fun later! lol Take care!
I used to get doors opened for me when I was old and still attractive. Now nothing. I think I really am officially old now also. Hope the muscle relaxers help. I have ones to take for neck spasms. Nice photos near the dam.
Fine shots of the birds! And take it from someone older: Don’t hurt yourself!
