Great Blue Heron in High Falls, Ga.

The other day I went on a trip visiting a great place to do camping or for just picnic. This such place is High Falls Pk. in Jackson, Georgia.



I have been there before in several occasions, I love the scenery! Also is the place where I saw my first Great Blue Heron! I could take only one picture at that time. So I've been trying to see if they are nesting in that area. Exactly as I wished! In this particular visit I saw not one but two!! :) and you can imagine. I had a feast with my telephoto lens. I bring you 4 shots taken that day. I'm happy now!

"Avian Architecture" - Book Review

Princeton University Press has just released a new book: “AVIAN ARCHITECTURE” How Birds Design, Engineer & Build  by author PETER GOODFELLOW.

"Avian Architecture
“I found this book extremely fascinating! People generally are reading about birds, their colors, shapes and sizes, however, there’s more beyond seeing birds fly around. This bring us the questions: How do they live, where do they live and how do they build their nests? Well, Mr. Goodfellow has done a heck of a job with his book that answers all these questions. Descriptions, photos, illustrations, schematics, comparisons and analysis give a clear comprehensive account of the process for building the bird’s nests.
Interesting and informative from beginning to end, this is a great book I recommend”
