"Hemingway....and Three Visitors" .........

If you remember awhile back I introduced you to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow our resident Blue Heron. Today you will meet Ernest Hemingway, a White Crane. It's not easy to get pictures of Hemi as everytime I get my camera ready, Henry chases Hemi off!

I zoomed this one and it blurred....................

Yesterday morning as we drank our coffee on the screened porch, we had three surprise visitors.

Hemingway was already out there fishing, so I grabed my camera...........

Three Canadian Geese stopped by for a swim and partook of the morning fish feeding!

They didn't seem to mind having their picture taken....................

You can see Hemi moved to the far bank not quite sure who these three were.

Between the geese and Hemmi you can see that one of the Mallard Drakes jumped in to investigate the squatters. They stayed around for a couple of hours, played us a honking tune

and flew out headed North...........We have no idea where Henry Wadsworth was all day but he returned late in the day having missed it all! Hemingway had fished all day in peace!
