Heinz NRW

I had no idea it has been so long since my last post, but chalk that up to the busyness of September and October.

I have begun my late Fall sojourn in Philadelphia. First trip was today to Heinz NRW. A few images ...

In one area, I had 12 Great Blue Herons in the glass, but at a distance. This one was foraging closer to the trail.

Downy Woodpecker

I know some folk in Vermont that would love to happen upon a sight like this in mid-November. He just stood still, studying me as I ogled back at him.

White Tailed Deer - buck

A few butterflies and dragonflies were still about. This Variegated Fritillary was close at hand.

Gray Catbird

 The Peregrine Falcon attracted a lot attention from birders and crows. One crow stood guard, loudly telling the entire neighborhood that the falcon was nearby and stay on the alert.

Good Birding!!
