Bucks Does and Fawns, Brown Headed Cowbirds, Cooper's Hawk and Grey Squirrels, and a Great Crested Flycatcher

A pair of Brown Headed Cowbirds gave me some photo ops. I saw a Cooper's  Hawk  fly through the woods and land on a branch. Not much of a shot but it was all I could get. A couple of Grey Squirrels entertained me for a few moments. My first time seeing and photographing a Great Crested Flycatcher.  A Thistle, Bee and Butterfly, can't help it, took a photo. It's the time of year when your chances of seeing young spotted Whitetail Fawns are more probable. I have seen a few so far this year. I believe the Fawn by itself was dashing across the field to locate its mother. The following photos indicate it was successful.

This fellow looks a bit under nourished, hope he's OK...
This little fellow was dashing across the field all by itself... He entered the woods to my right so I dashed over and looked down the hillside and saw the doe leading it away.
Doe and Fawn together at last...

Wonderful nature photographs, Larry! A very nice variety. Congratulations on the Great-crested Flycatcher life bird! Love the little spotted fawn. So glad it caught up with its mom. I've been on the lookout for fawns in our area ... no such luck yet.
