My walk this morning presented me a surprise seeing a nice seven point buck laying at the edge of the woods soaking up the sun. Seeing a nice buck this time of year is pretty rare. He still has his antlers, many have lost them by now and he is still alive after the hunting season. A Red-tailed Hawk was perched in a tree across a field. He gave me one shot before exiting out and away. The away shot is not so good but identifies from where he gets his name. The Eastern Bluebird stopped long enough for one shot. I got lucky with the Northern Cardinals, both a male and a female gave me a photo op. Lastly a tufted Titmouse was struggling with a large piece of hedge apple. It was a nice morning.
