We don't see too many BIRDS WITH LONG LEGS in my neck of the woods, or maybe they just all flew south for the winter, but I don't think that is the case.
I do know where you can find birds that seem to be walking on stilts though, Florida. The pics for this week's #SMaP were taken in the #Sunshine State, the place we fly to when the winter sets in.
This Great Blue Heron came within a few feet of us while we were having lunch. He realized we weren't having fish and decided to move on.
Being that our backyard was on a small lake, the birds that visited us that year were constantly coming and going. They seemed to have no fear and when we were outside they didn't hesitate to come over to get a look at the new renters.
This picture was taken as the sun was setting. The silhouette of the bird against the dark blue water showed every detail of this bird's body.
The balance of the Great Egret while walking on the branches of a Mangrove stand of trees was pretty impressive.
As far as legs go, this bird has it going on with its two-toned, backward-bending pins.
That was a fun post to put together. Good luck to all of you #feathered friends out there who like a set of long legs.
Thank you ,
