It was so sunny and warm yesterday, I had to take a little stroll in the woods with the camera. It’s a little frustrating right now though, because the wildlife is still quite limited, as are the roads and trails. But I’ll share what I have.
The deer are doing well after a mild winter. They’re pouring out of the woods now for the grass alongside the roads; unfortunately, there’s a price to pay. Their coats seem to be browning up a bit.
It’s so hard to get a clear shot of a ruffed grouse as compared to the sharptails in the open fields. These guys are smart and they always make sure there is something between us. I wonder if she knows her bloomers are showing.
No walk would be complete without a bald eagle or two showing up. When I was a young boy, it was a rare treat to catch sight of one; now they seem to be everywhere. What a comeback!
Finally, the sun got so low it looked like a campfire in the woods, so I headed for home. It was a wonderful day, but I’m really looking forward to great summer shots of all kinds of wildlife! Happy Easter!!

I’ll be glad when the trails are open and all the birds are back– even mr. bear will wake up! Thanks, Shelley, and Happy Easter!

I do like it, Michael. I spent a lot of time in woods as a child, and sometimes I feel more at home there than anywhere.
