Surprise .. Osprey

What a surprise. Teresa was first to see her .. she was in a tree about 75 to 100 yards north of where we were hiking. We were at Garbry Big Woods Reserve taking a short hike on a busy day. Until I got a good zoom and could look at the photo I was not sure what we were looking at. Yes, it is a Osprey.

I have photographed an Osprey at Big Woods once before but that was a few years ago.

We tried to get closer but she flew away. Her wingspan was amazing. What an amazing sight.

Never Miss A Robin

It is not easy to see this American Robin. The last few days we have not seen many birds. Robins are like old faithful .. they seem to always be willing to let me take a picture and there will I am not seeing any birds.

Those Eyes

I was so excited to see this Common Buckeye butterfly. Those colors are amazing.

A Little Blue

As of late we are not seeing many ducks. It was great to carch up with this Mallard on the Miami River. His colors are muted but the blue sure stands out.

Good To See You

What a beautiful Pearl Crescent. With the change in seasons and cooler temperatures we are not seeing as many butterflies. This just made me happy.
