Photography By Colleen on Pixels - Annoyed A Great Heron Story

Annoyed - A Great Heron Story

Today's collection is a series called "Annoyed." This is a series of consecutive photographs taken while a red winged blackbird attacked a much larger Heron at the Chicago Botanical Garden. 

Frequently I see these small birds attack much larger birds.  Many times the attacks are in midair and I have always wondered what would ever possess them to take on something so threatening.  Did a turkey buzzard eat their pa and now they seek revenge?  Did a Raven kick their eggs out of nest just to be mean? Really what is it?

What I especially enjoy with this series is that you can clearly see the Heron's response and how annoyed he is by this pest.  The last image you can almost see the Heron say "That's Right... Get!" LOL
Hope you enjoy.

Summer Ravens

This afternoon I noticed a large black bird in a vacant lot nearby clearing his throat with his raspy crow. While many look at the Raven with a foreboding, I have found comfort in their silky black feathers. I love Ravens; they are the sign of the season in full bloom, their call reminds me of the long country walks I have taken in the high summer sun. The bright light reflects purples and blues from their iridescent backs as they sit together and crow about their morning adventures.

Their familiar sound would fill the air as my children would rush through an ice cold geyser shooting up from the sprinkler. Screaming and giggling, they would grab a "Push-Up" and flop down on a large bath towel to dry in the heat of the day.

 The summer season was filled with so many wonderful activities that I was always disappointed when it would come to an end and the kids would have to return to school.  But even after they left in their big yellow bus and I would walk back to the house I would hear the comforting crows of the busy Ravens in the field promising me future summer fun.
