NevadaWolf, 7 months ago to Birds Spent the morning out at Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge taking pictures of who I could see. A lovely Great Blue Heron and Great Egret. #StillwaterNWR #ChurchillCounty #Nevada #Birds #Birding #BirdWatching #Wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #GreatBlueHeron #GreatEgret A great blue heron glides low over the reed filled shallow lake, it's long grey neck contracted against it's body while the long thin black legs rest straight out. Long grey wings are held parallel. The blue water and tan reeds stretch out into the distance. A sunlit large white Great Egret stands in the low grass along the edge of a shallow lake, it's large white body held up by thin black legs. The long white neck is stretched upwards, a green patch around its eye and yellow bill the only other colors on the bird. The background is filled with a tangle of tan reeds and bard bush branches. A large white Great Egret glides low over the shallow grey water of a marsh, reeds and brush growing along the shore and out in the water. It's long white neck is pulled back against it's body while the long thin black legs hang out behind it. Large white wings are held down mid stroke.

NevadaWolf, 7 months ago Okay last ones, though I did see many more birds out there. In winter, most of the males lose their fancy coloring and it's interesting to see them "dull" in comparison. #StillwaterNWR #ChurchillCounty #Nevada #Birds #Birding #BirdWatching #Wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #WhiteFacedIbis #AmericanCoot #NorthernShovelers #RuddyDuck A black American Coot swims across a still grey lake, the red eye standing out from the black head and the white beak and forehead shining bright in the sunlight. Two male Northern Shovelers take flight from a rippled blue lake, their wings downward, showing off the flashy blue on the upper wing and green on the secondaries. Both birds are just above the water, their tails still flared from take off. A plain brown male Ruddy Duck, his beak black, white cheek below a dark brown cap, with that proud tail still head upright as he swims slowly across a rippled lake.
