Today's birds are residents of our community lake.
I saw ducks on my way home yesterday. The late afternoon light was pretty.
The great blue heron was standing in the water when I went out a few hours earlier.
The goslings are growing up. They don't look like their parents yet but they aren't babies anymore.
After I did my errands in Front Royal yesterday, I drove up into Shenandoah National Park because it is right there, calling me to go up on the mountain. It did not disappoint.
I saw several deer and one of them stood still and posed nicely. I also saw a beautiful fawn but he ran away quickly.
Beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteShenandoah National Park seems peaceful. A bear sounds scary, I would jump back into my car, the fawn seems a bit scared. I like the grey blue heron, looks pretty majestic by itself looking for fish I guess
ReplyDeleteThose goslings really are the ugly-duckling if you see what I mean! Always love a heron too.

ReplyDeleteGoslings still are ugly cute!! They won't be flying for a while yet. Yay you capturing deer and bear (sort of).
ReplyDeleteI love the fluffy chicks.
ReplyDeleteGoslings do grow fast.
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure have some wonderful wildlife nearby! How exciting that you saw a bear!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful view! The goslings are still look a little cute and fuzzy. Hope you have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteLovely sights you captured. We were on Skyline Drive a few days ago. I saw only one deer who skipped across the road, but too fast for a photo. I was struck by its beautiful summer coat, just like the one in your photo. The goslings are adorable!
