November 17th, 2012: Part 1 of 2

On Saturday 2 friends and I grabbed our camera's and headed out on a 7 hour adventure to 6 different locations around the city. We didn't see very many birds or wildlife, but we kept looking, and we still had a lot of fun even though we did a huge amount of walking and we were pretty tired after. These are the images that I took...

We saw a beautiful Buck cross in front of us on the road on our way to the first location... but it was not a good place and we didn't have our cameras ready and no way to stop.

A Local Bridge...
This is where I saw a Great Horned Owl in the spring and there are usually Canadian Geese... but that day it was very quiet. We did see a lot of pygmy or red breasted nuthatches and a few ducks.
















A Local Park
The only living thing we saw here was a ladybug lol So I had to take a few pictures.














A local Lake
We saw a beautiful Blue Jay but he just wouldn't sit still, we had just gotten out of the car and he didn't hang around long. I love blue jays, and have been trying to get a picture for years but so far haven't gotten one. I usually don't have my camera when I see them... I'll keep trying!

1/2 the lake was drained and filled in as there was construction going on, so I only took 1 picture...

  4. Beautiful pictures as always! It's fun that you found the ladybug - lovely contrast of her bright colors and the wintry tree bark.
