Izzie and I needed out of the house today so we decided to head to the nearby Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area’s Brett Morgan Halowell Reservoir. Here’s some pictures from the visit:

American Coot, aka the water chicken, take off as Izzie and I approach.

The Bayou Meto Brett Morgan Halowell Reservoir Waterfowl Rest Area is only 25 minutes from my house, however, this week marked the first time I have really visited it outside of work.

Passed this Northern Mockingbird on my way there.
One of the largest hawks (Red-shouldered) that I have ever seen.
Red-winged Blackbird
daffodils!
A Wood Duck paddles by.
Mourning Dove
It was a pretty day.
