Rhodes Jordan Park - Green Heron & Kingfisher - 10May2024
10May2024 Rhodes Jordan Park - Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA
Shortly after I arrived, one of the red-shouldered hawks crossed the lake carrying something (it turned out to be a snake) in the direction of the nest (visible from the paved walkway).
I headed toward the nest and was happy to see the adult and one baby in the nest. The adult was partially obscured at times by parts of the tree, but its actions looked like it was eating.
This green heron was stalking water creatures along the woodline near the boardwalk bridge at the senior center.
The kingfisher flew into the bridge area near the senior center and almost immediately dove in for a meal. As they do, it smacked the little fish on the branch several times before swallowing it down.
