Some days are like this, mind you, two different locations but all in the same day. I like it when I have days like this. The young Whitetail you see first bounced out in front of me. Not to sure what to think it trotted a short distance and then turned to see if I was still there. The next series of Whitetails shows a group, one of which is a buck. The interesting thing here is he still has his antlers. These photos were taken mid February, most have lost their antlers by now. Of course by my appearance they exited the field and congregated in the woods. The Red-bellied Woodpecker was picking out the proper sized pebbles for its dietary needs. The Mergansers offered me a few moments of their time before my presence forced their departure. And of course one of my favorite raptors, a Red-shouldered Hawk allowed me a brief moment.
