Happy Valentine's 💖

Legg Park along the Red Cedar River, Meridian Township, Michigan

 

The woods were unusually quiet during a recent walk along the paths paralleling the Red Cedar River. It's possible that the warm dry weather has had an impact, as well as the time of day. It seems, however, that the number and diversity of the birds in this area is lower than last year. This robin was one of a small number of birds I saw along the path during my walk.

This little female red squirrel was at first curious about the camera and began coming toward it. Then the shutter clicked and she changed her mind. Probably sounded a bit like the squirrel proof bird feeders.

This bird was spotted when it landed on a tall thistle rising above acres of goldenrod.

Ich war eigentlich dabei Bekassinen am Rand eines Schilfgürtels zu fotografieren, als plötzlich diese Rohrdommel derartig dicht an mir vorbeiflog.

Leider kam ich nicht mehr dazu die Verschlusszeit zu verkürzen . Letztendlich bin ich froh sie überhaupt erwischt zu haben.

 

I was actually photographing snipe at the edge of a reed belt when suddenly this bittern flew so close to me.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to increase the shutter speed. In the end I am glad to have caught it at all.

Warmer weather has returned for a few days and a few birds are flying again, but very few sightings along the wooded paths.

First sighting of a great blue heron this year. Nice to catch it in flight.
