Osprey with fish. Thats what I call fresh take out. Cropped for detail.

As I mentioned earlier today, I found a plethora of wildlife today. I can add to that list, a Red Tail Hawk as well. I got a chance to get a few more photos up so you folks at home can see them.

These Canada geese must have decided on Kraft Dinner eh?

I’ll admit it, I was so excited to FINALLY be getting a few close ups of these Mergansers, I totally missed that I was capturing the Blue Heron too. I saw him/her fly a few minutes after taking a series of the ducks, but didn’t see it ‘hiding’ in the frame.

“MALLARD DUCK” O.K., an inside joke involving a little Bushmills at a friends and convinced we could teach their dog to speak English if we started with one of her toys, a mallard duck. The pictures not bad either, but I have better ones from the 12th I need to get posted.

And finally, my guest of honor. I’m very excited about the Osprey above. I wish there had been more light, but having an O.K. picture is better then no picture. BUT to have found this little guy, well, kind of a porker for a fox is the highlight of my photos today. I’ve only EVER seen about 4 foxes in my 28 years on this planet. Thats a surprisingly small amount for the shear volume of time spent as a youth at Moosehead Lake in Maine.

The gallery with full-size photos can be seen where you can see the full, medium quality jpgs (god bless raw+jpg mode) is available. So that about sums up ‘Mike’s’ wildlife log for Friday the 13th. . . Oh except the male cardinal, gold finch (both in gallery), phoebe, red winged black birds, male downy or hairy woodpecker, and deer I saw today, well deer tonight on the way home from dinner. So, who wants to live in the city again?? ;-)
