Moving between grassy edge and rock breakwater to forage and keep out of the wind. A rare treat up here!

3rd photo: single Bonaparte's Gull close up as an example of the large flock observed.

Male & female wheel: Noted pale legs, overall red w/no thorax stripes, female tannish based on photo; in addition appeared late in season for Cardinal Meadowhawks.

Sun is out and Monarchs are everywhere.

Awesome visitor to the suet!

1st time out of the box.

Yearling female osprey; distressed with a hurt wing. Swam up to boat and attempted to board. Rescuer assisted us and the osprey is now in rehabilitation.

Several times this heron was successful fishing, while perched on its branch. Fish swallowed before I could snap a photo!

In a field where the Canada Geese are nesting and probably harvesting eggs.
A curiosity for me in these images is that foxes seem to be able to turn their ears from concave to convex.

Hunting in the yard. Giving chase daily to Red-winged Blackbirds. Perched here in a Magnolia tree.
