Yesterday's Photos
I got up out of bed at 6:30am this morning so we could all go kayaking as the fog rose off the flat, silent lake... it is now after 8:00am and everyone else is still asleep in their beds! I guess there will be no early morning kayaking today... maybe I'll get to eat a quiet breakfast on my own.
In the meantime while I am waiting for everyone, I sorted through the hundreds of photos I shot yesterday. It was a really nice Father's Day here and here are a few photos from all of our activities yesterday...

| We thought that this might have been an eagle or perhaps a hawk... it was the usual ugly-duckling... the Vermont Turkey Vulture. I suspect many people THINK they see a Bald Eagle but it is really one of these ugly scavengers. |

| Lukey didn't want to get out of the water yesterday evening so Gee was stuck getting waterlogged with him... |

great set of photos! around here in Michigan, turkey vultures usually have all dark feathers, whereas the similar sized hawks all have lighter colored wing feathers - that's my usual first clue to determine hawk or vulture.
ReplyDeleteThanks! These birds were high in bright sky so they were just tiny silhouettes against the bright sky. It wasn't until I zoomed in on my computer that I was able to identify the wing feather colors and the tiny head. Our guests here at the lake house often claim to have seen a Bald Eagle but I've never seen one here nor have I ever seen photos. Loons, ducks, Turkey Vultures, some different types of hawks, Great Blue Herons... this are the big birds we see here regularly. Glad you liked the photos!
