Nut Hunt

This Eastern Fox Squirrel was on the move .. and so fast. He paused for 1 second which was all I needed.

Bad Hair Day?

Saw this Hooded Merganser while hiking on a warmer day. She is not a colorful as the adult males. It was still great to see her.

A Red-Tailed Christmas

This Red-tailed Hawk has nothing to do with Christmas but I wanted to share the beauty of this bird.

Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy time with Family. If you are alone or suffering in some way this day I send our prayers for comfort and peace.

Hey, I Was Eating

We do not see Bald Eagles at Big Woods often but this one was feasting on a dead racoon. . She noticed us and took off into the wind, soaring right above us. She landed right above me. I imagine she wasn’t too thrilled that we interrupted her lunch.
