A Little More Activity Today

I settled in at the shoreline at dawn. The distant immature eagle above was heading my way .........

At first light many Greater Yellow Legs were walking the shoreline in search of food.

These geese were a good distance away. Would of been good had the sun reached the water.

Sitting at a swamp after the sun came up provided this pic of a immature Redtail Hawk

Yesterday I check my trail cameras and one camera took a few seconds of two coyote

pups.

Extremely Quiet Morning

The Ruffed Grouse above was all that I seen this morning and it was just getting light.
The woods were very quiet !
The 'ole boots had better than five miles on them with little to show.


Well, there is always tomorrow.

Birds Not Getting Along Today !

The two GBH in the Blog Title picture were pretty rough with each other. I am guessing that they recently fledged.
I watched a distant Coppers Hawk and nd several Crows perform a number of slick aerial maneuvers.

I was hoping this Kingfisher would come close and dive for a fish.

It was very humid this morning ! I wasn't expecting much action.

Plenty Of Critters Moving This Morning

Headed out early this morning to beat the heat. Hadn't hiked but a half mile in when the  immature Redtail Hawk  above presented a photo op.

My plan this morning was to retrieve a trail camera that has been set out for three weeks.

Just about to the TC camera location when I caught glimpse of this doe working towards me. She went about her business not detecting my presence . Watching as I continued  slowly down the cart road I did catch glimpse of her fawn.

A family of otters swam by me as I watched two fledged Redtail Hawks fly short distances 

around the swamp.

This Green Heron made one ugly landing onto this white pine branch
