It’s a deer party

I know there was more of them .. it was a deer party 🎉. You only see seven in the 2nd photo and five in the other shot, but I counted nearly a dozen. I’m not really sure how many, but at one point I just saw white tales heading south. They stopped, and I managed to capture these photos. They were a good 100 meters away.

Look up!

Earlier this week, we were out driving around while looking for birds to photograph. We had stopped at Garbry Big Woods but had not seen anything so I was ready to head towards home. Teresa starts pointing towards the sky ... I didn’t see anything at first, but then I saw this beautiful hawk flying overhead. I managed to capture her in this photography. I was at a perfect angle and she was at the right spot for an amazing photograph. I really like this photo.

A horse is a horse, of course ...

I don’t take a lot of photographs of horses, but these two captured the attention of our lens. Teresa took the top photo, and I took the one on the bottom. It was still very cold outdoors, but they didn’t seem to mind .. and didn’t mind us taking these photos.

Nature is everywhere

Teresa took this photograph of this field sparrow earlier this week. This was just before the big snowfall a couple nights ago. It was cold as the temperature was just above 0ºF. The hawk that I shared the photo of yesterday was not far from this very spot. We saw a field mouse scurry across the ground about 3 feet to the right of this sparrow. I guess this explains the hawks intense interest in this spot. Nature is everywhere.

Bird of prey

We were back outdoors taking photos yesterday. The temperature had climbed to double digits (barely) so it was time. We saw this hawk at least three times, but on the third time, I was finally in a position to capture a decent photo.

I was driving east when I saw her fly across the road in front of me. This was a country road and luck for us, no cars in sight. I pulled forward and looked to the south and there she was .. about 50 feet from me. She turned her head to face me, then just slowly rotated it back toward the south. I snapped off about 10 pictures, then just watched her until she flew away. We didn’t stick around since it was evident she was hunting and I didn’t want to disturb this beautiful creature.
