We went to Blue Run Park over the weekend and saw all kinds of neat critters. New leaves are forming and it's getting harder to see through the foliage and almost impossible to take photos now.
We watched this beautiful Green Heron.
He's so much smaller that other herons and you don't see much 'green'.
I always come home and look at the ID book and then realize it is indeed a Green Heron even though he looks midnight blue with a dark red neck.
We see a lot of white birds along the river, especially Ibis and Egrets but this is a WHITE Little Blue Heron. They are white as juveniles.
And then there was the Red-Spotted Ant Mimic. And he was pretty much just what his name implies. He ran across the trail just like an ant....a really HUGE ant.
And when we got the pics home and zoomed in close, we saw lots of legs! It was a spider of all things!
With a big red bulbous body! Well, I never!!!
And how about a tiny lavender frog?
Nature is filled with beauty AND the unusual!
Did you see anything out of the ordinary this week?
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE
and I’d Rather B Birdin’.
