Stuff I've seen in my recent travels

Red-bellied Woodpecker

This is my favorite visitor at my feeders. Other favorites include Tufted Titmice, Carolina Chickadees and White and Red-breasted Nuthatches.

Public Enemy #1

Where there are feeders there will be squirrels. This fine specimen has probably robbed me blind by now yet he still maintains his innocent look. Amazing!

What are you lookin' at!

Death from above.
(The Red-tailed Motto)

Taken in my Mom's yard, this American Robin was a real ham. It seemed as if it enjoyed posing for me! We were on our way out to breakfast this past Sunday, when I saw this hawk perched on a tree not too far from the side of the road. I was driving and pointed it out to Russell, who grabbed the camera. The fates smiled on us because I was able to safely pull off the road, and he was able to get a couple of shots before traffic caught up with us. The hawk took off just before we pulled away, but we couldn't get a picture of it in flight.

Has anyone seen my rat?

He's got murder on his mind

I found this guy lookin' for lunch down on the shores of the Great Miami River. As you can see he gave me a great photo op even as he flew away. A better shot, less obscured by trees. By this time I am the obect of very intense scrutiny.

Rodent Retrieval in Progress

A Group of Grebes

As he took off he flew right over my head. Since I already had the camera ready. I managed to get a couple of shots off before he was gone. The river was loaded with these horned grebes that day. You can only see a few here, but there were at least seven or eight.
