Nice shot of them all taking flight. Reminds me of a shot I entered awhile back-
Despite being a common bird here, they always give me reason to pause and observe their explosion into flight from the water surface, especially in groups. There's just something about that noise, flurry, and transition from floating to walking upon the water to awkwardly attempting to gain altitude.

Curious how awkward this journey through buckled bullrushes was.

It's good to see the Western Bluebirds, which I seem to rarely (if ever) see up here.

Sure does a great job of hiding its leg! Looks like an amputee!

These I am familiar with for their amazing vocalization abilities! Interesting to see them in the wild.
