Deer Activity This Morning

With the rut just about in full swing deer should be moving pretty good. That was the case this morning. The problem was, I spotted them just a little too early and  had to  quickly set the camera on ISO 6400 with barely got this picture

A little while after this picture I did spot a small spike horn and several does.
 Before calling it a day I took a second hike at a NW gate  in hopes of maybe catching a few more deer out and about.

No luck!

Cold & Windy Morning

What a difference a day makes. Bit of a snap in the air this morning. I ventured out to the the Shaft 12 Road  I hiked to the intersection of Fitzpatrick Road ,where I took a right down a short cart road to the reservoir. I questioned my shoreline decision when the sharp wind  convinced me to put my hood on. It was worth the discomfort when this eagle glided by,

Continuing on, moose , raccoon  , coyote and deer tracks where consistent in the mud. The call of a loon put a nice finish on the morning .
I took a ride over to Quabbin Park. The reservoir looked beautiful from Enfield Lookout with a touch of sun.
