The feather
While out on a hike, I noticed a feather on the trail and picked it up. From some kind of sparrow maybe?
As I walked along the trail carrying the feather, I pondered how much of its existence was spent flying through the air. When I got to the trail’s observation tower, I thought it would be appropriate to put the feather back in the sky where it belonged (well, as high as I could place it). So I left it perched on the railing of the tower.
Time to migrate?
I like to think this great blue heron was pondering the cold weather to come, and when they should fly south. More likely, they just felt annoyed I was watching them.
Great blue heron
This great blue heron was kind enough to stand still for a pretty long photo session. Though I suspect she was probably just waiting for lunch to swim by.

I’m no morning person, so seeing this evening bird getting a worm makes me feel better about my life choices. American robin.
Redwing blackbirds
Came upon this grouchy female redwing blackbird while hiking. Must have been a nest nearby, there was much scolding.

Dozing duck
On a cool day, this duck recommends an afternoon nap in a nice sunny spot.
