Gilbert Az has a fine park of reclaimed water and easy trails. The ponds are full of wintering birds as well as humming birds, raptors, song birds. Birders paradise in the city! What a jewel. Very clean park. It is free. Parking is easy befor 9 am. I was there at 6 amin the dark and there were only a couple of cars then. I didn’t look these up so if I have mislabeled shout it out…I am not called Lazy Photographer for nothing!

Thank you. Very interesting about the snake charmers you wrote about.

Thanks Jan. These are beautiful.
Thanks Mark for looking! A Jack Rabbit and coyote just ran by. Fast food! I see the border patrol today will be horse back. Hope your winter is bearable.
Such gorgeous pictures. Love that morning light!!!! American Coot and Black Crowned Night-Heron (since you asked). Can’t wait to see some AZ birds for myself.
Soon!
Beautiful!
An oasis for wildlife in a city. Good job town of Gilbert!
Beautiful bird photos. All of your work is just gorgeous. I left another comment on a 2012 post, didn’t realize how far back in the blog I was. Anyway, really beautiful photographs.
Thanks, I saw that! I replied. These blogs can certainly take you away and take up time! Lol
Fun though.
LOVE the blue heron–lovely reflection and light. The Disney star was not too shabby either! Looks like all is well with you.
