Saturday’s Critters – Life at the Dam

I went on a bike ride the other day along the Tulsa’s Riverparks trails along the Arkansas River. The first time in a while. The sun was shining and the wind wasn’t too bad and I took my superzoom camera with me. I stopped at the Zink Dam to rest a bit and take a few photos. Things were busy there.

In a pool just downstream of the dam, the great blue herons were fishing.

A pod of American Black Tipped Swans had the area downstream of the herons to themselves.

Segregation, A station of great blue herons in the pool, pelicans downstream. I love collective nouns.

And a fellow human fishing. I think see this guy a lot.

And in other matters. Here is 41 second video of birds I liked on the birdcam in the backyard this week.

And that is about it. I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters.
