The Flight of the Great Egret

It was a tough Blip choice this evening. I whined and cried on yesterdays blip that I wanted the black-hooded parakeets to be on a palm tree instead of a telephone wire.

Well...wouldn't you know it. When I pulled up today...there was Mom and Dad Parakeet on the dead palm. Mom was inside the birdie hole...while Dad was standing guard. They let me creep up to within 10-12 feet of them. Using their unique screeching language...I screeched to them my thanks.

But...I didn't want to give them top billing 2 days in a row. So...the flying Great gets the nod.

Check out the parakeets, and a few other birds on my FLICKR PAGE.

2 more days until the big Blip meet in Gainesville. Friday night it starts.
