Hiding In The Rocks

Double-click to edit...

We were hiking at Grand Lake St. Marys this past weekend. It was not typical of what we experince there. We saw very little wildlife. We did manage to capture a few photos of an eagle flying near us .. that is always cool.

I totally missed this rabbit. I guess if felt hiding in these rocks would be safe. As is often the case, Teresa saw something I missed. Great capture Teresa!

Rain, Rain …

It was a cool morning, and this Red-winged Blackbird was getting wet (actually, we were wet too). A popup rain shower caught us on our hike at the momment I shot this photo. We found a place where we could get cover from the rain, but the birds just continue their hunt for food.

A Flying Carnivore

Check out this cool looking Widow Skimmer. They are one of the group of dragonflies, also known as King Skimmers (Wikipedia).

I love this photo for other reasons too. This guy is having lunch. It looks like a fly but it certainly is an insect. I guess like me, he is a carnovore, or at leat protein based. Part of the circle of life.

One Of A Flock

We were recently greated by a flock (I guess its called a flock) of Common Grackles passing thorugh the wooded area where we were hiking. This one stoppedd in the shadows for this amazing photo opportunity. Check out those eyes. I really love this photo.

Where Is That Cat?

Since the last time I posted a photo of a Gray Catbird, I have seen a few more of them.

I love it when we am walking on a trail or through the woods and hear a cat, only to realize its actaully a gray catbird. Its kind of funny.

This is the best photo we have been able to capture of a gray catbird this year. I'll keep trying to do better. Getting a perfect photo drives us to keep taking pictures. Nature is funny sometimes. Some days we hear and even see dozens of birds but only get a couple photos, then other days we will capture so many beautiful pictures. You never know.
