Linking up Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-b-birdin
I hope you are joining in and posting your birds and critters.
I have a long weekend for the Columbus Day holiday and usually I would have visited Shenandoah Nat'l Park to see the fall leaves or I would have headed to Delaware to visit Bombay Hood wildlife refuge. No plans today... Am I the only person upset with the government over this stupid shutdown..

Chincoteague had to cancel their pony roundup... ruining a lot of people's plans to visit.

With the shutdown still going on, most of our National Parks and Wildlife Refuges are closed. The government is allowing each individual states pick up the cost of running their park. That is, IF they want to open their own state National Park. So far, I only read about the State of Utah and Colorado. I had wished that they would have all opened by now.

A green heron hiding in the bare branches...see in Chincoteague NWR.
See this article about New Mexico's National Parks: Carlsbad Nat'l Park
After reading this article and seeing that some states are not hurting I think the Oil companies that are booming should pay to open the parks.. After all the are drilling in our National Parks, it only seems fair..Enough of my rant...I am just mad because my vacation is being canceled due to a park that is closed.

More from Chincoteague NWR, Snowy Egrets and a few juvenile White Ibis...At first I posted they were juvenile Glossy Ibis.
I do have some great news..I am a Great-Aunt ..My niece had a baby boy Neill Stephen 7 lbs 11 oz. Congrats to Melissa and David..and welcome baby Neill.
