I saw a very cool shore bird today who was not at all camera shy, so I made a little video which can be viewed here:

Some still images can be found at the link below. The deer were scampering around just a few yards behind the Heron.

A few yards the other way, I saw a Green Heron sharing a branch with a duck. He must be very friendly because my neighbor captured a photo with him sharing a branch with a Little Blue Heron.

All of this great wildlife is just a few miles from my house in Washington, DC., at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, which can be easily accessed from the Anacostia River Trail. Both the trail and the gardens are among my favorite places in DC. Another great thing is that if you access the gardens from the trail, you can visit before the park opens or after it closes. Bring a picnic and you will likely have the whole place to yourself, surrounded by birds, turtles, deer, and the river beavers – all captured on my Vimeo channel:
