The Birds

I've seen ads on BBC for The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock style. I've seen it before. I won't be watching it again. The kids especially won't be watching it. But this post is named The Birds. So there. We took grandma and grandpa and the kids to the best place in the area to take pictures of birds.
The kids were not happy at first. Venom is here expressing the sentiments, shared by her siblings, regarding the cruelty of being taken to this place. Some fresh air straightened everything out, however.

Dead Fish! Run!!!

This camera thing...it's genetic...

Young Adventurer knew what these were from a recent field trip to this horrible place. I think he said the small ones were snowy egrets and the big one is a...something else.

Great blue heron, who was sitting, letting us take his photo just a minute ago but got tired of it.

Venom, who was pleased to pose for the camera...

and Adventurer Two,

who thought she was a celebrity and anyone with a camera was the paparazzi, with her bodyguard.

Young Adventurer was also not in favor of having his photograph taken. He scowled. I have some great scowl shots, however.
