June is rice planting season here and whenever a farmer is plowing a field, there are always, always birds following the tractor looking for good eats. We passed this one field and I have never seen so many egrets in one place. Some were in breeding plumage with the brown head and chest (first time to see this bird)
I think this is a mountain hawk that flies over our house frequently making its noise that sounds almost like a whistle. Rather elegant bird, and I found one of its feathers last week--beautiful
This was a sunrise about 4:45 a.m. one morning. So pretty; I am not usually up at this time, but did hear some of the birds wake up :-)
