Four baby birds getting ready to get fed. This was a next in a shelter in the Wetlands Park next to the Arkansas River in Little Rock.
Being fed by momma bird.
Here is a view of the Wetlands area. The former Rock Island bridge over the Arkansas River is to the left and the Clinton Library is to the right. The bridge is now a walking bridge. There are lots of birds, turtles, snakes, other animals here depending on the time of year. According to LeMoyne Jones, over 10 million was spent to make the bridge a pedestrian bridge. Also, Jones said to thank Mr Clarks estate for providing the money for the wetland project.
A better shot of the ex-Rock Island bridge.
The original Rock Island Choctaw passenger depot at left is on its original location and the bridge is straight ahead. The tracks were where I'm standing. The depot is now part of the Clinton Library used as a School of Public Service.
