Local Critters

Since I'm stuck on hold waiting for my 8-28 delivery of my Cougar - I know, at my age I shouldn't want the time to pass too quickly, one day at a time, etc. but damn it, I want it now - I thought I'd put up some of the local wildlife my neighbors and I have photographed lately. I'm about 3/4 mi. up a private road and we see a lot. I unfortunately missed the moose last Fall and the the bears this Spring. I think I need to carry the camera all of the time. Anyway, here's a couple of this year's crop of fawns.

The Birds

The wild turkeys have their babies out and about, quite entertaining. The sandhill cranes are much rarer but show up occasionally.

Nice shots, realbtl. Must be great to be able get shots like that locally. Living in suburbia, we're pretty much stuck to lizards.

Ted- One learns to soak up and store these kinds of sights for those gray, -5 degree, 8 hours of daylight January days. Even then you could never get me back to California.
