Warblers

I took these warbler pictures in May at Magee Marsh Wildlife Refuge. Pictured top to bottom is Magnolia, Canada, and Bay-breasted Warblers. This is a great place to view and take pictures of birds in the month of May.

Bambi

My west meadow is presently red clover and today this fawn was eating away (better than my field corn). He paused long enough to have his picture taken. Very cute.

Bucks

This must be the season for bucks to hang together. I counted 16 bucks in three different groups last night. Also they all seem to like soybean greens because that was what they all were eating.

In one picture the young bucks are nestled up to dad saying please be nice to me during the upcoming rut. The other was a pretty big guy getting ready to charge my camera. Fortunately I was able to dodge him and escape with only minor injuries.

Young Buck

Last week I caught this young buck in full stride. As I panned the deer the background steaked as if in motion. This is fairly easy to do so give it a try.

Lousiana Waterthrush

My wife found this little guy feeding below the spillway of the Versailles Lake. Reflection pictures are fun and this one came out pretty good. Just turn your computer screen upside down and you will see what I mean :)

Albino Deer

For the third year in a row I have managed to photograph the Coles County Albino Deer. Last night in practically the same location as a year ago he came out to graze on soybeans. His stay was brief but I did get several nice shots.
