I wandered back to the *Magical Grove* where I encountered Monsieur Reynard last month - in the hopes we would *meet again*....alas, no fox....BUT, I did meet this enchanting Blue Egret..... I love this *discovery* of mine....no one, it seems, ever visits here....so it is beloved by animals!
Okay - not a real *Animal*....but a large Chess *Knight* piece that helps hold up a Gazebo where people
can sit and play chess!
Spring IS coming...
I loved seeing this Ivy climb up the tree..... near my *Magical Grove*..
Don 't they look like they are glowing from within....
A few of the Bison who live in the park....there are now ten (I counted them)....including six babies...but I couldn't get a clear shot of them ....without the protective fence obstructing my view.
My *Masterpiece* Photo!
This little Hummer decided he WANTED to pose....so willingly sat while I clicked away! I was THRILLED to see parts of his head and throat were a brilliant, metallic Magenta....and I was able to capture it when the sun shone on him just so...
Here he is without the sun reflecting on his gorgeous throat....still spectacular!
Blurry....but I had to include it...
He sat there for (at least) a minute...while I clicked away! Then, he soared straight up into the sky and *zoomed* away! I'm still in awe remembering it....
Mr. Squirrel....looking for food! (I forgot to bring something with me.....so sorry *Squirrely*...)

| Mr. Squirrel says: A-ha-ha - Emma, the *Squirrel Huntress* is not here to chase me! |
Mr. Mallard has a gorgeous teal neck too.....but the photo blurred...and I didn't want to take more as I already disturbed him from his afternoon siesta...
A small *Armada*...
Lastly....I have to leave you with a photo I didn't take..... it's Koa, the Goldie, and *Star* of SF Opera's *Heart of a Soldier*. Sunday night, our local Classical Radio station re-broadcast the opera...and Koa's *Dad*, Rodney, sent me this photo of Koa as he *prepares* to listen to his *solo*...(he barked on cue)!
I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful Animal Wednesday!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥

Oh what a fun post Robin. I think we are having the same weather pattern as you are having. sunny and warm weekend and rain and wind and snow..not sticking and hail. Cold anyways. That first bird is a Great Blue Heron. I love those guys and the hummer looks to be an Annas hummer. they are here all winter and all summer. Pretty when the sun shines on them like that. Thanks for you comment. my neck and back are doing better. one more therapy treatment on Friday and I hope to be good to go again. xoxo Cris
