This is an 8 shot pan. My computer spent a lot of time stitching this together. I probably should have saved the project for another day!

I had to see this on my computer! I sure didn't notice any thing more than a flying crow. It must be getting something down its gullet! It was a strong flier!

Yesterday and today have not been good for photographers. And it looks like tomorrow will be more of the same! So here's a little something from the other day. I'm pretty sure this critter is a cross between a dog and a cat! Those eyes are so cool sitting in a dogs face! If anyone knows what type of fox this is...

A little problem here. You're supposed to count the largest number of a species you see at any one time. This is just a small portion of what I could see in this place at this one time! There had to be a thousand or more to be seen. All I can do is make a somewhat educated guess as to how many there were! The same could be said for the number of Northern Shovelers I saw here!

A couple of these came in nice and close for portraits, but not close enough to each other to fit in the frame together!
