Another wonderful day of picture taking down on the river - hal - 03-06-2015 I'm kinda getting back into the swing of getting out and moving around now that spring is springing. I'm planning some ambitious backpacking this year so I've gotta lose a few pounds and get the legs in shape. Went to the river and did my usual loop around the pond and just as I was turning to go back toward home, I saw a coyote and went after him for quite a while. But first, I went to check on the rookery and it seems just fine. I was sure that the lower simply had no head... ![]() Reflection of the nesting trees ![]() A crazed cormorant - the coots pass nervously by... ![]() A turtle rises from the murk... ![]() a very distant hare... ![]() nice little shorebird... ![]() and a smaller one (what are those DP?) ![]() A Golden Eye (right?) just after popping out of the water ![]() aHA! I just managed to spot this guy just a few feet from where I saw a baby coyote a few years ago. Could it be the same guy all grown up? I'll never know, but I was very proud of myself when I was unable to follow the guy through the brush - I broke off contact and went far around and reacquired him TWICE. I think I could have found him again, but it was REALLY time to go home now - it's really dark. The pics are barely adequate. ![]() ![]() Saw this little bunny on the way out... ![]() ...and several deer too ![]() Re: Another wonderful day of picture taking down on the river - freeradical - 03-06-2015 I'm not sure if following a coyote around is a great idea. Maybe if it was a mountain lion...

The next is a Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes). Yep! The duck is a female Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) It'll be another month here before we see any migrating birds around. Nice pix as always... |
