There are still more birds to get pictures of around Novell campus. I got some of the little sandpiper-like bird and was able to identify it as a Killdeer.
I was also able to get a better picture of an American Goldfinch. I saw a lot of these near the Provo River, so I'll have to take the camera there next and try to get better pictures.
The barn swallow chicks have hatched. I wanted to get a better peek at them, but one of the parents caught us and did it's best to scare us or lure us away. I didn't want to stress the poor bird out.
The parent kept a close eye on us as we left.
I also got a good shot of some neighborly cliff swallows.
This is just another robin, but I caught it with its mouth stuffed full of berries.
This is a Red-Winged Blackbird. He hangs out at the marshy pond on the south-east corner of the campus. I've noticed these guys like reeds.
In the same area, I found what is by far the biggest bird I've seen around here. This Great Blue Heron must have been feasting on the plentiful carp in the pond.
Unfortunately, even staying back and using the camera's full 42x zoom, I made it nervous and it flew away. It had a massive wingspan. I hope I'll see it again soon.
