The missus thought was kind of neat today. Something not usually seen. They are usually wading waterbirds, the tree is generally home to hawks, and eagles. Canon t7,55-250 lens, I guess I could range the distance if important.. I might have to break out the Lynyrd Skynyrd albums now.

This time of year, the water might be too cold for their toes.
I've seen water birds in trees before, but only in the tropics.

I think it was a case of musical trees. The hawks were in a tree usually having buzzards in it. As far as water temp, that's constant year round within 3 or 4 degrees. They wern't there 10 minutes then left. Kind of a hmm that's kinda weird thing.

Nice birds, but they are where I would expect them at the water, not perched 30 feet over it.

It looks like those wading birds were all preening which could be normal depending on time of day and weather conditions.
