Pond Kingfisher

Hawk on Light Pole behind Denny's over Off Ramp this Morning...Kingfisher pics at the Donut Shop Pond...last two taken on the 22nd...I don't know what the Pond Trees are...some kind of Swamp Cypress...during the Winter, Leaves all drop off, and Trees look lifeless, but Spring has brought the Leaves back, and these Trees are at least Sixty Years old..oh..more..as I remember them as full grown as a kid...the Pond filled up during the Rain...The Rain as only Rain of the Winter...hmmph...I pulled over and parked by the Pond and sighted Kingfisher right away...paddled back and forth trying to keep up with Kingfisher going Tree to Tree to Fence Railing to Tree...some faraway nice clips, sentimental to me as Silver is in Background, and the foundations for the Pond's, (Kid's Haven's), Snack Bar in the foreground...clips for sometime...I was in Silver reviewing the pics and clips, looked out, and Kingfisher was back on the Railings...tried for pics through Passenger Window the Fencing, and surprised to get Kingfisher hovering pics, Wings trimmed/cropped by the Railing...things are never quite spot on with Kingfisher!...continued, and rolled out to the Ocean and Crystal Cove State Park..Pelican and Piper pics...for twenty bucks, if one is senior, one can get State Park Pass good from January to December, except from Memorial Day to Labor Day...a deal, as entry to Cove for one Day is fifteen bucks!...I dunno...sunny cloudy cool warm...a fine morning and afternoon...Crystal Cove wasn't really accessable when I was a kid, and this a first time visit...Park is one of the Irvine Property Legacies, and a very nice Beach and Tide Pools... Happy Birthday Robert Frost!
