White-throated Sparrow

Posted By August R. Orlandi

I caught this one a split second after he took off. Lucky shot.
I hope this is right a White-throated Sparrow.

Fawn

Posted By August R. Orlandi

Caught the little one the other day in the neighbors back yard. It looked like someone spooked mom and she took off forgetting about the little one.
It was stranded here for about 2 days before either mom or dad jumped the fence and rescue it.

Cacti in Bloom

Posted By August R. Orlandi

Here are 2 shots I took of one of my Cacti flowering.
Due to the cool weather and clouds these flowers will last quite awhile.

Fishing wasn't that bad but the birding was better.

Osprey

Posted By August R. Orlandi

Here are 2 shots I took of the one and only Osprey that I have seen around here,on the river.
In the pasted I usually saw between 3&5
just about ever time I went out if not more. Don't know what the story is this year. Also only one Green Heron sighting
so far this year.
