It looks like the Blue Heron is standing there waiting to hitch hike a ride.

We have a lot of wildlife near our house. It makes it fun looking. We go out almost every day. There's almost always something new to see. This is a train load of wind generator blades. All the white from right to left are carloads of them. They were 1 blade per 2 cars. They make them in Windsor about 15 miles from here. This is the first time I have seen them on train cars. Usually I see them on the interstate in convoys.

This morning while I was out tossing the ball for my dog , a Red Tailed hawk swooped down and snagged a small rabbit out of my yard ! and then began to much on it while I watched it and wasn't about to leave without it's breakfast! I wish I had my camara !

It's funny but eagles seem to always look pissed off.
