What you lookin' at, fool?
You lookin’ at me? Well, then, take a picture. It’ll last longer!
Better like this?
Or better like this?
Okay, enough posing. I’m outta here.

A football field. You just pictured one in your mind’s eye, didn’t you? What American hasn’t played on one, marched on one, cheered on one, or at least seen one on TV? Now you’re wondering what wetlands loss and football fields have to do with one another, right? That same question sent WWNO Radio’s…
Now that looks like a really strange blog post title, doesn’t it? It seems I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump, not having internet readily available at my tips. I was speaking with an old friend whom I haven’t seen in 20 years last night, and I asked her to imagine her life…
Today, the opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway to capacity was completed to relieve the pressure off the Mississippi as she rose to flood stages all along her levees this past week. As of this writing, she is breaching levees and flooding farmland in the northeast portions of Louisiana. This spillway is about 65 miles northeast of Bayou Dularge.
Recently, I had the opportunity to do some winter speckled trout fishing with Lyle Johnson of Ascension Outdoors TV show. Lyle is always fun to compete with on a fishing trip; although I never set up the competition–it just somehow happens. He’s a great sport, and we enjoy the banter, but not as much as…
And I am not a happy BW this morning. First off, I didn’t want to wake up today. I was sleeping soundly when my alarm decided it needed to help me wake up. I turned it off in my slumber. Minutes later, I forced myself out of the bed and into the kitchen, first to…
Ok, everyone. I’m home from slaving in The Cypress Cottage for a few hours and about to leave for a baseball scrimmage. I have just enough time to squeeze this contest in here and not make you wait until late tonight. I flatter myself in thinking that hundreds, nay thousands, of readers are just sitting…
What song was he/she dancing to?? Too funny!
The “chicken song” Katy Bug! I need you to write me!!!
I wish my thighs looked like that!
Green heron or Night heron. I feel the need to du de Du soon.
Lean on Darth for me…..
Blu, maybe you just need to offer Timothy James (Darth) to pay for the whole trip and then he can come? He told me he was too broke to come down! But I did lean on him!
Is that a mature bird? Hard to tell his size. His colors are soooooooooo beautiful. I think the males of all the bird species are always “purtier” than the females.
Steffi: our male species are the ones generally blessed with the long, dark eyelashes, great skin and better cheek bones. Us females? We have Maybelline! Just my thoughts.
Of course, I love all the herons, but I especially love these. It is a green heron, and they are much smaller than all the other herons. So yes, I would say it is no longer a juvenile. He is a newcomer to the place where I photographed him. Typically they are more shy than the other herons, flitting from bush to shore to eat and not hanging out in the open for too long at a time. But this one was a captive subject! Pretty much had him cornered!
Green herons are beautiful! We saw quite a few of them in FL.
If he’s a Green Heron, why is he blue? Is it because he’s lonely? LOL
I think the photo color is a little off from reality because he was more dark green than blue. I should have adjusted the color, I guess.
Tried that with all the yankees, no bites. Harder to lasso than dolphin on porpoise. That’s gonna leave a mark…..ouch.
Them birds hide in the shore reeds and cat tail here. Had one over in Indiana that liked my old gray plastic boat couldn’t hang on to gunwales though. Tried three aborted landing… Usually they flush out right at your head then back in the reeds.
Mute swans however will kill you coming out of the reeds. Different story….
Blu, are you speaking in code again? None of the yanks want a paid trip down to bayou country? Maybe you should check your mouthwash and deodorant! LOL!!!
Kids, jobs, and women are main issues. Legal and stuff are others.
Saw a green heron at E tonight. I took it as a sign the bluegill were gonna hit and they did.
