It was beautiful out there today. The lakes must have opened up because the water birds were scarce on the river today.  

Some of these I took to put on iNaturalist.


Wild Turkey inside the wildlife sanctuary. He almost showed his full colors. Sorry about the rough footage. Not the best camera. Hopefully I'll get better with time.

Anyone recognize these?

A tough sight today. She was lying under my favorite tree. She wasn't there yesterday evening. There was no sign of predation. She was either pregnant or had just had her babies. Either way it was very sad.

This is an area that they're trying to restore to original prairie.  They just cut back all the dead growth. These two Oaks they left. I hope to take pictures of this spot as it progresses through the year.
