String Too Short to Tie

Walked to the pond. As I stood beneath a tree looking at the pond, I heard a rustling in the leaves above me. I might have ignored the rustling, for it might have been a squirrel, or even a breeze wafting through the trees.
But apparently I had been spotted, and the creature fluttered its wings as it attempted to move to a spot I would not see. I looked up. The bird was well-hidden. Well, except that I did spot it. I aimed the camera and *snap* and quiet as the shutter was, it startled the bird into flight. And not only this bird, but its companion as well which I had not seen!

What wonders there are to see when we are quietly looking for them!
I did make the mistake of clicking on the second bug picture - Oh, good close-up (Eww I hate bugs) - and what kind of bird is that? I know nothing about wild life - well I did when I was younger - Oh wait, different kind of wild life...In the immortal words of Emily Litella..."Never mind.."
Shelly, we live in an amazing world!
Grace, "different kind" indeed. Very funny, Grace. The bird is a gull, but since there are a million varieties of them, and I am no birder, I would not hazard a guess.
Oh, that little moth is very tiny indeed!
Do you know the difference between a moth and a butterfly? Fuzzy antennae. Moths have fuzzy antennae.
Lin, thank you! I now have at least some general idea of the sort of insect it is. (I believe I remember that you wrote about the fuzzy antennae on Duck and Wheel.)
