Title: More pics Ajax swamp
Post by: skyviewer on July 25, 2009, 02:49:07 PM

Correct me if i am wrong but the woodpeckers are hairy woodpeckers the male being with the red of course and the female without.  The sandpiper i am unsure of i was thinking least sandpiper but my pic has spots on its belly and in my bird book it says it has an all white breast.  There's also a green heron in there

That's a cool swamp. How's the mosquitoes?

That's correct.. the longer bill and lack of "down" around the bill does it for me.

But when i put on some boots and started wading around the edges of it it got a little crazy

I really like your Green Heron picture ... nice to see one in "action" or moving about.

Cheers, Hilander
