There is a touch of fall color in the “skinny tree” which earlier this year hosted one Great Blue Heron and several Great Egret families. Now the tree serves as an occasional landing spot for a passing bird.

This Anhinga chose it as a drying off spot and executed a smooth landing.

He then turned his back to the sun and spread his wings to dry off.

Fine detail and the fall colour provides a wonderful backdrop.
Thanks, Belinda. I was happy to see that this poor tree had managed a few leaves through the summer. Hosting all those bird families isn’t the healthiest thing with all the pulling they do on the branches and the poop.
Nice shots, fall colors are around the corner…..yay!
Thanks, Donna. I bet the colors are gorgeous in your area–it will be interesting to see the changes from your new balcony.
