Quiet Morning

I left the house very early this morning headed to a southwest gate. The sunrise from Pelham Lookout on Rte 202 stopped me for a quick picture. The morning started eventful with seeing several night hawks  and a barred owl. Later in the morning I disturbed a red tail hawk . It cussed me until it was out of site. Not a mammal to be found ...... Not even a squirrel.

Oh well,maybe tomorrow morning

Not much going on this morning. I hiked a section of the northwest reservoir in hopes of catching glimpse of the bobcat I crossed paths with the other day. Wasn't to be today.

With the heavy rain last week the brooks are flowing.
 I took a break at the mouth of this stream. The reservoir was pretty hazy, Photo opportunities where slim. Other than hearing a distant loon the Pickerel Frog below was the only thing willing to let me take its picture.
