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!!
