Signs of spring!

Male Red-winged Blackbird

I noticed the sound of the Red-winged Blackbird before I saw the bird.  I had not been to Gorman for three or four days.  They are back and, I found later, have been for three or four days.  They stake out their territory, the males, at this time of year.  The top of the post by the pond is where this male surveys his domain.  

Turkey Vulture
 
The Turkey Vultures are on their way to Hinkley, OH.  They supposedly arrive on March 15, the Ides of March.  I am guessing that they may be early this year.  That could be an encouraging sign if you are wishing for spring.  


Young White-tailed Deer

I think that this is one of the possibly 3 which were born last season.  If so, I probably have photographed it before.  It was good to see him/her even though it does not seem that it says that spring is coming.  I felt encouraged anyway!

Birds of Prey

Barred Owl
I was able to visit OBS (Ohio Bird Sanctuary) again the other day.  I think that I was able to improve my shots through the cage.  The reflections of the sky off the top of the wires caused the light bands.  I think that some sort of barrier to the sky light reflecting of that wire would improve the quality further.  

Barn Owl
This owl just sat there.  He/she was not sitting perfectly still as you may note the video following.

Great Horned Owl
I am calling the video, Birds of Prey.  Thanks to OBS and Craig Duncan. Enjoy!
