Lone heron takes off after geese

This lone heron caught my eye yesterday afternoon heading up to #8 tee box. And then...

Bird rising

One of a pair of crows seen at the golf course yesterday out by #4 green.

Spicebush Swallowtail Catepillar/Butterfly

Found on the golf course just below #9 tee box yesterday afternoon by Rex Humerickhouse. Have never seen the like... Go here for more on this cartoon like critter that one would expect to find at the local Wal-Mart store in the stuffed animal bin.

Geese on the Wing

Our feathered friends moving about for the fun of it. Taken last Thursday evening.

Great Blue Heron Standing on One Leg...

...and keeping an eye on me as I pass by on the dam.

Heron on the watch

The heron was back and still unfazed by other bipeds walking on the dam.

Praying Mantis photos

He was sitting on the back of a cart early this morning before the games started.

Blue Heron Photos

I was surprised that the big blue stayed around with five of us right there on the ninth tee box. Guess something caught its eye.

Wild Things

A kingfisher, another bird who doesn't much like hanging around us humans.

Vector butterfly?

A little guy who knows how to blend in with his surroundings.

Wary sandpiper

Just off of #7 green. Very skittery bird and does not much like being photographed. Or just doesn't cater to humans.

Soft shelled turtle taking a walk...

...up #8 cart path last night just before sundown.

Porkers taking a ride through Loogootee this morning

Meanwhile, down the street and around the corner, a bird uses a corner post to do some very necessary grooming.

1st humming birds at new feeding station

We added a bird feeding station, this one for humming birds, just outside our east side living room window. Didn't take long for the little guys to discover its existence.

Geese arrayed...

well, kinda arrayed.

Geese in Disarray

They're in the process of getting themselves organized, I guess.

More Pick up dogs

Denny was carting four dogs around the other day. Guess the little collie prefers the cab. Don't know what that says about that's dog's character, if anything...

Denny's dogs

A couple of dogs riding around in a pickup truck. Good dogs - happy to see anyone.

Goldfinch perching sideways

He kind of looks like he is upset that I would be disturbing his feeding and, in effect, telling me to 'get lost.'

Spillway Wildlife

Update: Heron like bird with a twig in its beak.

This bird, some sort of heron (?), was playing with sticks as I watched. Building a dam?


A brown furry critter.
Update: Pretty sure it's a mink.
