Egret, Geese, and Deer

This first image shows an egret visiting our neighborhood lake, observed by Canada Geese. This image is from my archives because I don't have much in the way of new bird pictures to share today, having posted them on Wednesday.


The rest of today's pictures are from my trail camera. The first one is an infrared photo at dawn; you may need to peer closely to see the deer in front of the lake.

I cropped all the trail cam pictures. It doesn't frame or zoom, it just clicks when there's motion. Eyes tend to look exaggerated in night shots, the well-known "deer in the headlights" effect.

The deer have been chomping on the same bush almost every night. It must be pretty tasty!

  6. Loved the double masked Halloween selfie! And I feel for the deer with only one antler. I guess he'll grow 2 next year.
