After church on Sunday I took a drive through Ninepipe to see if many birds were visible. They were. Ninepipe seems quite an exotic island of bird life right in the middle of the valley, which I probably should visit more often than I do.

Click for really spectacular, larger view.


Quite a few Great Blue Herons were hanging around, wading and fishing.



The Canadian Geese are everywhere, mostly walking but occasionally swimming and flying.



An osprey heads back toward its nest with a large fish.



Leaving the water’s edge I ran into this gorgeous ring-necked pheasant.



The island was covered with seagulls--a primordial image of teeming life.



If you look closely, it’s all enchanted.
