Great Grey's and Great Bucks 120714
Jamie and I headed out into his "zone" this morning. WE had a very slow start to the day witho none of "regular" haunts paying any dividens. But the Bucks seemed to be out in force. this was a nice pair of Muley's @ 6:30.
We then found our first Grey Grey of the day, just 15 minutes later. We found this guy in a new spot for us, but on our usual "track". After five minutes of taking photo's we were off.
45 Minutes later, we ran into a bird of note, a male WhiteWinged Crossbill, down in the ditch, not of our images came out, so they are not worth posting (and you have already seen me post some pretty bad images. A pretty red bird thought with the white wing bars. At 7:50 we found three deer, this little spike buck was comfortable enough to lay down for us.
A half hour later we found this Cow, she had been temporarily separated from her calf, and wanted to get across the road. We didn't see the calf (our attention was focussed on mom) until she made the edge of woods.
Our next encounter was with GGO number 2, a terrific situation where we spent almost 25 minutes with this owl. I was able to creep to withn 30 feet of it. Best owl experience to-date (I think). Here he gives me the "eveil" eye. ( no crop here).
Less than 10 minutes down the road we found two juvenile GGO's, they had flown into the trees and were calling to one another as we snapped a few shots.
At 9:10 we found this nice Whitetial buck with his not quite as large sidekick.
All the Whitetails were out today. This is the best ever view I have had a a WT fawn. Not hard to see how it could disappear on the forest floor amonst the clover and dandelion fluff balls.
Right at 9:35 we found this bachelor herd of Whitetails. four pretty nice bucks, with one we couldn't squeeze into the photo.
That was pretty much the morning, things definitely slowed down after 10:00 a.m. I will leave you with another shot of our Second GGO of today.
Have a GREAT wildlife day!
