A late summer morning kayak excursion on the lake...although a wide variety of wildlife was not evident, I did capture some interesting behaviors of the creatures I did encounter.

| Great blue heron stalking its prey |
 |
| Turtle love |

| Smiley face turtle |
A friend, Marilyn, sent me a smartphone image of these two buddies, below, and we thought it was a unique shot...until weeks later, I came across this scene, and there they were again:
 |
| Pals |
 |
| Great blue heron staredown |
 |
| Treading carefully.... |
 |
| What was that? |
 |
| Darn, missed it... |
 |
| Great blue landing |
This next set is a series of a great blue heron preening. He was standing in this positions for quite a while, burying his head deep in his feathers at some points, then, suddenly, started to cough and whip his tongue back and forth. I assumed he had feathers caught in his throat from the sound of it.

| Finally caught one! Looks like a small large mouth bass. |
