I took a walk today, taking along my camera and a new lens (16-300) to see how it works with wildlife. These white-tailed deer were somewhat cooperative but a little skittish! Side note: It was 50 degrees warmer this afternoon than it was the morning before! It felt like Spring!
Farmstead on a frosty morning!
A beautiful Baltimore Oriole I was delighted to see while birding at Magee Marsh in Northern Ohio during the “Biggest Week in America Birding!” I think it was also National Bird Migration Day!
Ok, it’s not red but pink! The Dwarf Crab Apple Tree in our backyard shared it’s beautiful blossoms with us again. The wind and the rain took it’s toll, and carpeted our lawn with the beautiful pink petals! Have a great day.
I don’t think the horse has a life-list of birds, but it is the season birders are enjoying the Spring migration of waterfowl. Have a good first day of April!!
Plowing with three workhorses, a familiar scene in Holmes County, Ohio in the Spring time!
Finished work up close! I just noticed the robin in the foreground, obviously looking for an earthworm or two!
Not sure if this bluebird actually could tell that someone inside the window was there taking its photo. Maybe the way the sun was, etc, he could tell there was movement. Anyway, it seemed like he noticed me! It was nice to see the bluebirds back. The bluebirds had come back again this year, so I hurried and put their birdhouse outside in its usual spot. Then sparrows started making nests in the house, which I removed the second time. I think the sparrows gave up, because now the bluebirds have taken ownership of the house again.
