When I saw the images of this great blue heron (Ardea herodias) walking on a sandbar at Gulfport, Mississippi, that song by the Bangles from the 1980s - "Oh-way-oh Oh-way-oh."

"In Ancient Egypt the figure of the grey heron (Bennu or bnw) with a long beak and a double feathered crest was surrounded by mythical associations. When the flooded Nile waters slowly retreated, the heron was among the first birds to appear on the top of the mounds protruding from the water." - egypt-museum.com

My photo gallery contains more that 1000 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

I don't recall taking this photo of a female northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), but I take gobs of cardinal photos. They are colorful and very photogenic and perfect for when I can't decide what I want to post.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Take a look:

https://mastodon.social/@nancywisser/113493706286631960 nancywisser@mastodon.social - With severe drought going on for months my bird bath attracts a lot of birds but this one was a surprise: a Tennessee warbler in autumn plumage stopped by for a drink and a look around. These should not be this far north now. It was the greenest bird I’ve ever seen! Glad the beverage was there when they needed it. #bird #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #warbler
