A Whitetail Buck a Groundhog and Milkweed up close...

Here you will see a nice Whitetail buck leaving his sent by rubbing and licking a branch that hangs over its head. Then he scrapes an area below the branch and leaves his sent there also. All in high hopes of attracting a doe. Often times a Groundhog will appear, eat his fill and disappear. The Milkweed in it's fall glory.

A Great Blue Heron, Fox Squirrel and Eastern Bluebirds

A lone GBH (Great Blue Heron) was patiently scouting the waters of a local river. It stoically waited for timeless minutes in the same position. It's patience was greater than mine, I had to leave. Then I saw a Fox Squirrel. He was bouncing across a field into the trees close by. Shortly after this encounter I was visited by several Eastern Bluebirds. They can be entertaining.
