A Great Grey for Russel 120824
Raining cats and dogs here this morning so plans were on hold this morning until we heard the weather report: "clearing by noon". So I arranged to pick Russell up at 11:30, as he wanted to be back in town by 5:00. With the owls being day feeders, I thought we might stand a chance, although recent outings have been less successful than I have liked. We starte with normal cast of usual Hawk suspects and then found 4 coyotes.
Down the road a little and we found these Whitetail twins.
I blew an opportunity to get a great American Kestrel shot due to excessive traffic on the only time the entire day the road was busy:(

Now for the little guys.
He was the most mature of the two. This is the younger one. He was very vocal.
After they vacated the area, and before we got back in the truck we spied these two Downey Woodpeckers having a bit of a disagreement about territory.
We were able to get pretty close, but the clouds opened back up and we headed for cover.
A few more hawks and we picked up this Bambi on the way home.
Not a super day, but not bad for the middle of the day, and the rainy conditions.
