Horses, Dogs, Birds

Saturday Critters / Black and White

These fine horses were grazing in partially melted snow near Boyce.

I saw the running dogs in a small dog park at a truck stop in Toms Brook. This was the first time I've seen a fenced area for dogs at a truck stop, but it makes sense. Hundreds of drivers stop there every day and some of them have dogs. 

I'm not sure what kind of bird was in the tree. I thought crow, no, vulture... but the silhouette looks almost like a turkey. 

I met a couple of pretty dogs at the county park. One was sweet and the other was loud, but they were both cute.

Today's last picture shows another bird in a tree, and I have no doubt about what it is. I see mourning doves pretty often around here. 


 
I'd Rather Be Birdin'

  1. I'm positive that's a Turkey Vulture. You're correct on both counts. I do like that first B&W photo.
