These fearless mallards

I took this photo of these mallards while we were hiking yesterday. This is one of the better shots I have of Mallards in a while. I was afraid my drone flight, or the noise of us trying to get in position for a good photo may frigten them. Nothing .. they stayed put, shared their beauty, and seemed fearless.

One more photo .. and have a great day!

Finch fest

As I mentioned in the video yesterday, The number of finch seems to be at a peak. They migrate, so I would expect to see less of them as time goes by.

Today was a rain was an all day affair. It stopped long enough tonight for me to get a short walk in. I hope your day is going well.

Knock-knock

The woodpeckers have been very active this week. There is something about their constant work that gets me excited. You know, you hear that knocking sound, and you start looking for the woodpecker. Fun!

Signs of peace

Beautiful sight .. I took this photo at Charleston Falls on Friday. I was surprised to see her, but she was patient with me, so I snapped the picture.

Services for my friend were very nice. There is something about a memorial service that brings some closure, and some peace. Have a good week!

Migration in the dark!

Yes, this is an Indigo Bunting. Over the past few months I have taken several photos of this species. They are such a beautiful bird. They also sing so beautifully. I have not seen one in a few weeks. I was thinking about this while walking the trail near the river (between mosquito bites).

The Buntings have migrated south now. Oh, you didn’t notice? Well, that is because they migrate at night. They use the pattern of the stars nearest the North Star to navigate. Amazing! (Details from the iBird app).
