One of the neat things we saw this morning was reptilian. The Saturday Birders were pushing for it to be the "Bird" of the Day, but I refuse. It was really beautiful, but I am stubborn about my designation being a bird. This is one of the great things about going on a "bird" walk. We see and pay attention to all kinds of things on the walk, not just birds. Being outside should always be an opportunity to enjoy all that is present before you.
P.S.
I have also added a slide show of my trip to Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge to see the solar eclipse.

Lots of osprey still around. The young of the year are getting a bit more independent, but still loosely associating with their family groups. We had a few nice flyovers this morning.
