Great egrets at Jug Bay

Where's Waldo?

Locations of the birds

Fall colors, heron, and reflections

Early morning light (which this time of the year comes later and later each day), and no wind, so the creek is alive with reflections.

As always, click on the photos to see more detail.

 

Zoom in on the Fox

 I had three cameras the other day when we went out to see the foxes.  The focal lengths noted below are all the 35 mm camera equivalent.

• Pixel 3A, fits in a pocket, but no zoom, fixed at 27 mm.
• Olympus TG-870, with an optical zoom from 21-105 mm.
• Nikon D200 with a zoom from 300-750 mm.  While I have other lenses for this camera, changing the monster is not easy.

These pictures were all taken from the same spot, showing one fox.

Foxes on the creek banks

 

Not much sign of foxes in the neighborhood, either sightings or nightime sounds, but there were two today along College Creek, which gives us something else to look for if the birds are not active.   The opening up of the woods as the trees shut down will make it easier to see the foxes.

Breakfast for a gull.  With fall they are making an appearnace.
