Hole 9 Hawks
Young Buck
Just a Glimpse
Several Scarlet Tanagers have been flitting around the trees in our yard over the last week or so. They’ve been so quick that the photo below is the best snapshot I could get. Click here for a post from 2013 that has some better tanager photos.
Snake in the Shade
Yesterday’s post showed a bluebird sunbathing. Today’s post is a photo, taken yesterday afternoon, of a non-venomous water snake curled up in the shade under a rock the edge of a creek in Bent Tree. Only its head was poking out in the sunshine.
Sunbathing Bluebird
This bluebird splayed out in the sunshine for about 15 seconds, then flew away. Click here for a similar post about a blue jay.
Wild Turkey Fan
Morning Deer
A Rainy Day Hawk
This hawk sat on a tree limb, in our backyard, for well over an hour yesterday afternoon. Click here for a post from last summer that also shows a hawk that didn’t seem to mind the rain.
