In the neighborhood today


Our daughter was mowing the yard and sent a text that it was hunting again...I grabbed my camera and got a couple half decent shots.  We have seen it three times now.  We are pretty sure it is an Osprey.  Anyone that knows for sure either way, I am open to your idea.

Seen today!!!!


We seen this out at the strip pit are...only the second osprey I have ever seen.



It was quite a distance away so I zoomed in with my little point & shoot camera.  For some reason it kept looking the other way.


It was eating something but I could not tell what.



I know this is  photo overload....


Just click and expand the view and get a better view.

A couple birds....

While staying down at Madison, Indiana for a couple days, we went to the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge.  I have wanted to go there for the longest time, but think we could have chosen a better time to see things.  We only saw a few Great Blue Herons, and hawks.  One deer. I think a couple little turtles.  Oh, and we saw a few geese and a few little ducks from a distance.

One of the signs said that Bald Eagles and Ospreys can be seen there, but we were not so lucky.

However, on our way home, no more than half an hour from here we saw this:
Roger spotted it, and pointed it out to me...there was one little spot to pull completely off the road.  I was fumbling getting my camera out, and it just dove for something in this pond, or maybe at the edge of the pond...there are weeds/grass that grows around the edge and I could not see what it got.  It took off in a few seconds with nothing in its claws.  It circled back around and I snagged this shot, but it did not hang around long enough for me to get a good picture.  I still cannot believe we saw an osprey this close to home!
