Didn’t Expect This Today

I think this is the first time I have photographed a Ring-necked Pheasant. Years ago I would see them when hunting, but it has been a long time. This was another one of those cases when we were driving down the road and I saw him off the road about 25 feet behind a few trees. I had Teresa turn around so I could try to capture a few photos. He didn't move far when we stopped .. beautiful.

Let There Be Ice

The ice arrived overnight so we took a drive around the county and shot a few photos. Some of these were shot by Teresa and some by me.

Lots Of Water

After the rain and melting snow, the water was really flowing at Charleston Falls Preserve. I shot these photos on Tuesday (2/23/22). It was cold out, but certainly a great day to hike.

Hawk Timeout

I would have missed this Red-tailed Hawk but Teresa saw him land in a nearby tree. We were just driving down a country road when she saw her. So, what do we do .. of course we stop the car in the middle of the road and start taking photos. Lucky for us there was not traffic so we had time to get a few photos.

A Cute Couple

I was hiking at Garbry Big Woods when I saw thse two Downy Woodpecker climbing in a nearby tree. It caught my eye because the male and female were both there together. When I shot the photo, I thought I was only getting a shot of the male, but as it turns out, she was in the background. Very cool.
