Shhh 👆

The title is from the punchline of an old joke that I hardly remember. There is an outside chance somebody will get it.

I took this photo about an hour ago. I haven't posted one of these for a few days So here is a photo of a turkey vulture flying overhead. I like the detail in this photo.

"The Turkey Vulture uses its sense of smell to locate carrion. The part of its brain responsible for processing smells is particularly large, compared to other birds. Its heightened ability to detect odors—it can detect just a few parts per trillion—allows it to find dead animals below a forest canopy. The Turkey Vulture maintains stability and lift at low altitudes by holding its wings up in a slight dihedral (V-shape) and teetering from side to side while flying. It flies low to the ground to pick up the scent of dead animals." - allaboutbirds.org

We didn't see too many birds on our walk today, unfortunately — and those that we did see were quite far away.

We did however see this rather ambitious squirrel carrying what looks like could be nesting material!

More fisheye experiments from last month (precisely a month ago, actually).

I really like these shots (especially the first one!), but getting them involved depositing the seeds in sort of a corner, which led the pigeons to contend for them a bit too vigorously for me to feel alright about doing this, so I won't revisit this kind of photography anytime soon.

A gosling, afraid of me, ran to mama's protection & hides under her wing...and then peeks out from under to see me. 🙂 ❤️
