Tuesday Wanderings.................

It was a dark and really cold Tuesday. I couldn't work up any enthusiasm for housework. Usually I can get into it but Monday passed with nothing done and I didn't fancy sitting around another day sooooooooooooooooooooo.........we went out. Low and behold the sun came out. We missed a few good pictures though, first off I saw a small owl sitting in a tree, after backing up it had gone. Ah well I still saw it. I stopped first at the Samaritans Closet and found some cool things. (See English SPirits Pretty Things blog)....then we got some coffee. After that we headed towards Sleeping Bear area.
Without Wild animals I am always happy to see the domestic ones. So on the way to Port Oneida we stopped first at Narada Lake, it was soooo cold I didn't linger but did see this little guy twittering and looking cold. I have ID him as a Song Sparrow.
The geese were nattering so I bet the eagle was around but if so I didn't see him. Saw the Sandhill Cranes along the pathway. At Port Oneida were the other pair and lots of Canada Geese. Saw a hawk on a tree but missed the shot.
I also missed a shot of about 6 deer, can you see the one I did get hiding in the trees. Saw another Vulture along the road really close up. We eyed each other but he flew and I missed the shot, also missed a pretty red Squirrel on a poast eating a nut and that was my luck this day. DID see another Vulture though and we saw where he/she lives. (Turkey Vultures)
I have to look these two (the one I missed and this one) because they are not the same as the ones with the bald head and necks.
I love hearts in nature and have gone by that one often enough, Gerry reminded me today so there it is. Thats all for today. Tristen just came over for the night and tomorrow, he is still sick and Dan and Sara working. Hope I don't get his cold.
