Hungry Cattle Egret Gets the Worms Everytime

There Wasn't Anything to Do Outside Today

 

 

So, last year's photo files were looked at again.

Finding a pile of images undeveloped from March 2013 I went to work.

Don't let this photo fool you.  There's only one bird in the picture.

When you upload five or more similar scenes into Google+ they do this for you.

Auto Awesome creates a Motion GIF.

So, I throw a bunch of pictures, like this, in there.

And, go out for a cup of coffee.

By the time I get back in the office, the work is all done.

And, the egret gets to eat the worm !

Wildlife Photo: Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus)

This bird, with a fancy hairdo was found in a flooded field at Kin Village, Okinawa, Japan.

The Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) has some awesome bright colors.

They eat worms.

So, I plan on telling Mrs. RyukyuMike what she should start doing.

Instead of buying all that hair color, which stinks, and costs me money, she should do like these birds.

JUST EAT WORMS !

Get Your Exoskeletons Out of Your Closet !

Have you got any bugs, butterflies, worms or any other kind of exoskeleton photos ?

Did you know something like 97% of the critters on earth are exoskeletons ?

Well, they're having a photo contest to help educate the world about these insects.

Visit the ARKive Blog and they will give you all the information on how to enter.

Even if you don't have a contest winning photo, it could still appear on ARKive.

Just load your critter photos to Flickr and add them to the ARKive Group.

One of my Coconut Crabs got in there that way.
