Wildlife, especially birds, on and around Arcola Island on the Perkiomen Creek in Pennsylvania. All images on this blog are copyrighted by me, Rachel McKay Laskowski, unless credited and noted. A sewer line is trying to come through the island and my neighbors wetlands. Anyone who wants to add to this blogs about local animals please email or call.

A tree fell in the creek directly across from our steps that lead down the the creek. It seems to be a new popular spot for the birds, especially the pair of Kingfishers. Recently I saw three kingfishers. One seems to have been chased off though. Here is a shot of the pair, one with a fish in it's mouth. And then a shot of it tossing it so it can reposition it to swallow it down. He or She didn't chew! Just swallowed it whole!
