Saturday Flowers June 27; Birds of Culler Lake

This immature night heron was fishing this morning by the edge of Culler Lake, about 20 feet from the security of his roost in the tall trees.  His siblings were spaced along the edge of the lake, those who weren't strolling nearby under their heronry.  They are wary city dwellers, but as long as I stay on the path and do not venture onto their territory, they seem content to fish and stroll, not too bothered by me.

Here is the great blue heron, which stabbed a small something a moment after I took this photo this morning.  He is fishing well downstream from Culler Lake, in Baker Park.  This must be a very good place for fishing, and I have shown photos of this handsome bird as well as an adult night heron fishing from this very spot.

Off the subject of birds, here is the bouquet of flowers I arranged yesterday on the kitchen table.  They will brighten the kitchen all week.
