A Flirty Squirrel and a Green Heron Close-Up - Just Another Day in Brightwood

9/28/2024

Recently, a smiling squirrel greeted me, and appeared to desire a few portrait photo shots. I could not disappoint such an adorable creature!

Near the dam a young green heron was watching fish activity in the water, and allowed me to stay close and take multiple photo shots. After a while for some reason the fellow seemed to think I was a doctor providing a physical exam. For twice the bird opened the beak and said "Ahh!" in front of me.
