It's amazing the quality of picture a cell phone can give you today.

It really is. No filters, no editing.

was on a hike in Palmer State Park on the 24th when I heard *whack* I knew right away I heard 2 bucks get into a fight, by the time I got up the hill the fight was over and the winner was chasing his opponent off, the winner stood proud when he saw me.

Looks like you would have been his next victim if you came any closer. Nice shot!

From this morning's walk, the only bird that was willing to play.

It's warm enough out that this ring neck was sunbathing on the patio this afternoon. Our dog found it first, but we shooed her away before she could do any damage.

This was a peek out of my ground blind. Once at 22° the second as the sun came up and the frost steamed off. At one point it looked like a smoker.

See them around plenty in the warmer months but this is the first time I recall seeing one during winter.

Thanks. I tried to get a pic while on the wing but too dark for a fast shutter.

Pretty little visitor. I don't see them very often.

If you have marshes, swamps, run off ponds or ponds that have Cattail Rushes, you will usually see Red Wing Blackbirds. They are spread far and wide in the US but, as someone said, it is unusual to see them this far North in the cold weather. They usually head to the Southern US when the cold comes.

I have always said that I am someone, now I have corroboration. Thanks John

My house back up to a park, we get all kinds of animals. I've got Skunks, possums, a quick Coyote video, hummingbirds, rabbits, deer, fox, mice, tons of squirrels and racoons of course. Any requests ? .
