Elk River Rancher
Casual Birder
Heavy rains and winds, yesterday and last night, here on the northernmost reaches of the Chesapeake Bay, and not much opportunity to photograph anything 'special'. Did see a pileated woodpecker in the woods near my hay shed, yesterday - and a fox sparrow on the deck - but didn't have my camera handy. This morning, I did - and all I got for my efforts was a photo of a buzzard drying its wings, whilst perched on the top of a telephone/power pole. They're not the most attractive of birds, but they do serve a useful purpose, as carrion consumers. Hope I'll get a chance to photograph the woodpecker, today - the skies have cleared, and I'll take my camera out with me, as I do the horses' stalls.
