No Need For Earmuffs Here
Sunday, January 2, 2012,
Look at those ears. This young whitetail is certainly ready for the cold weather. His winter coat includes built-in insulation for his ears as well as the rest of his body. And now that winter has finally arrived, he’ll have need of that protection. Stay warm, little buddy. JK
January Dunlin At Cedar Beach
Saturday, March 27, 2010
These shots were taken back in January, the same day I took the pics of the surfing Mallard. I know what you’re thinking: Here it spring already, and this guy’s posting pics he took at the start of the year. It’s true, I am amazingly lazy when it comes to posting pics. I’ve been out kayaking since the beginning of March and now I have several current shots ready to go. And you’re here stuck looking at last season’s stuff. Bad, Joe. Bad.
This guy was in a flock of about thirty birds, all of them facing into a very strong wind that was coming from the west. Except for the sun, which was just great, it was a nasty, nasty day. I felt sorry for anything that had to spend the day outdoors but I was plenty glad to get these shots. JK
Dark-eyed Junco: Master Of Camouflage
Sunday, January 3, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I give you the Dark-eyed Junco. A master at the art of camouflage, its’ cryptic coloration has allowed it to approach this unsuspecting group of sunflower seeds undetected. He hops in slowly and then the carnage begins. Spent shells everywhere, the massacre doesn’t go unnoticed. Soon others will join in and devour their fill of seeds, but it was this Junco, a veritable wintertime ninja, with his powers of stealth and invisibility, who made the first kill. JK
