Feathered Friends

I took a walk recently around lake Willastein in Maumelle to see what I could see. Well......

Killdeer: This is a very unique bird. It builds its nest on the ground. If anyone or anything ventures too close it will pretend that it has a broken wing and lead trouble away. When it's far enough away it flys off. Cool huh? If you look closely you can see eggs below her.

This is her future family.

Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher...I wonder how it got its name. Hmm

Canadian Geese: There was a pretty strong wind blowing in off of the lake. The geese would face into the wind a spread their wings.
