Ensley Bottoms Shelby county "mothers day"
Well last sunday I "let the wife sleep in" and made a run down to the steam 
plant and Ensley to see if I could get some good pic,A few shorebirds up top 
and the wind was howling, spitting rain and overcast.  Saw a few shorebirds 
athat I got pics of lesser yellow legs and some spotted and least sandpipers. 
Saw two orioles and indigo bunting but no good shots.

Did find the Dickcissels singing like crazy and posing for photos, I did not 
know what they were other than a yellow throated looking sparrow, but two very 
nice young ladies in a white Explorer told me what they were. They also told me 
where they had seen a Yellow Crowned Night Heron I might see on my way out on 
Mitchell rd.. I was leaving so I thanked them and went on my way hurrying off 
to take my wife and daughter to IHOP as I had promised for mothers day 
breakfast.

I made a quick look as I went by the area and low and behold right nest to the 
road was an absolutly gorgeaous Yellow crowned night heron, ready to have his 
pictrure taken. I tool a bunch of shots of him as he posed and preened and 
strutted for me. I also got some shots of a nice Green Heron and a female 
hooded merganser.

Needless to say I was late for Breakfast, but thank goodness my wife 
understood(expected me to be late anyway) when she saw the pictures I got!!

Ladies I do apologize I should have remembered your names, for that I am very 
sorry,  I owe you an 8X10 of a Yellow Crowned Night Heron thank you so 
much., If you know these ladies please let me know!!! they were quite 
knowledgable and I hope and feel I will see them again soon.  If you see them 
tell them I owe them some pictures!!
