More Than Birds

During my paddling this morning I saw (and photographed) more than birds. Even though birds were my primary interest, other “things” of interest did catch my eye.

Wildflowers are moving quickly toward the end of season flowers. All were pretty.

Along with wildflowers I found a couple of clumps of fungi too.

Birds provided too much temptation to not photograph them. Here you go…
