Bird(s) of the week. Newly fledged Eastern Wood Pewees, right along the creek between the house and the barn |
Yeah, we went parking last night....It's true. There was another car down there at the boat launch and I suspect that they were really parking.
A soggy Merlin we found the other day |
We were just listening for owls. It was a beautiful evening, with a sweet little golden crescent moon, the star that dogs it dangling nearby, any number of glowing planets, and just before the darkness set in, a clear sky as orange as...well, as an orange. Wish you could have seen Big Nose and Little Nose silhouetted against all that from the top of the hill above 5S.
Green Heron |
Very nice. Full dark down at the river, but with a fine array of stars showing and lights from the locks and the local houses reflecting on its calm, still surface.
Great Blue Heron |
No owls, but three Killdeers screaming in the dark up on an Amish farm we passed. That was kinda cool.
A soggy Red-tailed Hawk (immature) |
What? Did you think at our age we were getting up to anything but chasing elusive birds out there in the dark? Um......Nope.....it didn't happen
Song Sparrow |
