Well, this morning I thought I would give the little white
weasel another shot to see if it would make an appearance. Persistence and
patience are key aspects of finding wildlife of any ilk, when you are focusing
on a single animal the 2 P’s become even more important. On my first pass
through the area no weasel was present but there were a couple of other hopeful
photogs also looking for a “shot” or two. We took a little stroll and I spied
this youngster, probably hunting, as there were a voles running around
everywhere it seemed.
A second shot of the same owl showing of the
youthful colour on its legs that will surely darken as its back and wings has done.
We worked our way back to the “weasel” area. Although it did
not appear we enjoyed the company of two Rusty Blackbirds. Apparently they only
develop their “rusty” colour after the breeding season.
It was interesting to watch as they would walk along the
water’s edge and flip deciduous leaves.
Finding a little worm or grub under the leaf they pick it
up, give it shake and chow it down.
Our next visitor was this young Bald Eagle. It
popped in sat for a while and left pretty quickly, it didn’t give us much
opportunity to get images.
I took Rob over to where
Mike and I had spotted the pair of owls yesterday. I had seen one there
earlier and he was interested in grabbing a couple of shots.
On the way over, woody made an appearance so I grabbed a
couple of shots.
The young owl was still at its perch, I believe this is a
sibling of the owl earlier in the post.
While the weasel eluded me again, I had a great day in the south end of FCPP with some of the winter birds and some late migrants. This week put a little wild in your life!
