Sunday Shots, 10/20/24

I woke up this morning and I was feeling terrible. I had a bad sore throat, you know the kind where it feels like you are swallowing glass? I thought about just getting back into bed, but then I figured since I was up I would try to get out for a little bit. I decided to forego any birding on foot and instead birded the black dirt from the comfort of my car. My decision paid off before I even left the village; I found a Red Fox in the cemetery and was able to get some photos. The black dirt was birdy, but with what I would consider the usuals. American Pipits are around in good numbers; I enjoyed seeing and photographing them. On my way home, I took the long way and it paid off; I found another Red Fox who did not seem too disturbed by my presence.

  1. Wow ! Awesome photos -love the fox – what an expression!
    Hope you feel better -it was good that you were able to “rally” today .
    Also enjoyed your Golden Eagle photo -I learned something… didn’t realize about the white feathers on the underside, so Thank you !

    1. Thanks Liz. Note that it’s just immature birds that have the white panels in the wings; adults will appear more uniform dark/brown. Matt

  2. Hi Matt. Really love the photo with the “double” crane! My son and I saw that flock the day before flying over the Liberty Loop parking area. -Gilbert

    1. Gilbert, I love that you picked out the double crane – that’s exactly why I chose that image. Thanks for checking in. Matt
