I have been looking to get a photo of a fox in this area for 2 years and today I finally got what I wanted. I saw this fox walking along the road while I drove through the park so I parked up ahead and got up on a trail where I could see the fox coming up the stream. My intuition paid off and I was able to get a great view of the fox with a young groundhog in its mouth walking along the creek. It crossed and came up to the trail I was on where I followed it for a bit until I lost it in the woods.
There was at least one chick in this nest that I was able to see earlier on. They have buoys keeping boaters and kayaks at a distance which is nice.
Not sure what these are exactly, some sort of sandpiper I'd assume. The tweets they made when they fly were much like the Solitary Sandpipers I've seen this year.
Saw three Juvenile Bald Eagles passing overhead flying downriver within minutes of each other. Each photo is a separate juvenile. I was so upset yesterday because when we were there fishing we saw a juvenile catch a fish right in front of us after making a couple passes. Worst time to leave my camera in the car!
This Kestrel was in Hover-Mode when I took this photo. I'm trying real hard to get a closer photo of this bird. I've seen it numerous time in what I think is a span of about a 5-10 mile radius in this particular area. I see it perched on the wires along the road looking for prey. As soon as I get out and start walking it usually takes off though.
