Snowy Egret... Eagle Creek, Indianapolis, IN. My first in Indiana!I was able to spend both Saturday and Sunday this weekend doing some birding at our local birding paradise that we are blessed to have here in Indianapolis, IN... Eagle Creek. I was especially excited to come across a very healthy group of shore birds that are beginning to move through town. Since I had to spend most of my time with my eye permanently stuck to my spotting scope, I thought I would try to do some Digi-scoping. Unfortunately, most of my shot didn't turn out. Below are a few of the better.... and obviously I need a lot more practice taking pictures using this method! I can't seem to get the shot as clear as it actually is in the scope? Suggestions are welcome.
Great Egret, Caspian Terns... There was a group of about 30 Caspian Terns present which apparently are common migrants through Indiana. This was my first Indiana sighting of the birds.
Great Egrets, Killdeer, Ring-billed Gull, Caspian Terns
Great Egret, Canada Goose
Belted Kingfisher... One of my favorites! Today I was able to witness this bird catch a fish and beat it to death prior to finally swallowing it whole! Pretty cool sight! Not sure what the fish thought about the situation though?

Chad, You did GREAT. You are so lucky to have a special place like Eagle Creek to go and look for birds. The Snowy is pretty... AND--I've never seen a kingfisher in person. I love those birds. So DIFFERENT.
Have a great Monday.
Betsy
