On my last post I invited you to pull up a chair on my deck, today,I invite you to hop in the car with me and go for a ride. We will pretend that it is safe to do so and just enjoy the ride and the company, both the winged kind and the people.
The first bird we come upon is a dark phase Red-tailed Hawk. It was sitting on a fence post, but of course took off quickly. A beautiful bird indeed.
Before even getting into the car again, we look up and see a Turkey Vulture soaring through the sky. Those two-toned wings never fail to give me a thrill. Just magnificent.
Down the road a little ways, we spot a Mallard in the water. As is common with most Mallards, this one was not about to hang around for long. Just before he slipped out of the picture, I was able to get this shot.
We make our way to a marshy area, an area known to have lots of ducks and geese. We are not disappointed with the numbers, but once again, the Mallards are quick to leave.
With one final look at the Mallards as they leave for some other area, we say good-bye and head towards home as well.
Thanks for spending an afternoon with me. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did.
A friend makes the world we live in a better and happier place.
