No Fear?

This was an interesting expeience. This buck was just off the trail. Shortly after I shot this photo we walked by him. It was just a few feet between us but he ignored us. I actually find that concerning. A bit more fear of humans is likely better for his longivity.

Standing Tall

We went on a butterfly walk yesterday with a group. It was lead by a real expert on nature from Miami County Park District. Near the end of the hike I totally missed this Green Heron but it was spotted by soneone in the group. Luck for me, he stayed in the same place long enough for me to get a decent photo. This is the 1st one we have seen this year.

Not So Common

I am sure that to many a sparrow, such as this Song Sparrow, are a common bird. You may say to yourself, there is nothing special or unique about her. I don't agree .. this is a beautiful bird. Look again .. check out the details and the grace. This is a very special bird. I guess it is the same we people. Each of us is unique and special. Have a great day.
