Environment:
Start Time: 8:00 AM Temperature: 53 degrees Sky: Sunny.
Pretty quiet (bird-wise) out on the trail this morning. Perhaps it is just the seasonal shift change where the Summer birds head South and the Winter birds start to settle in. This is the time of year when an Eagle sighting is a possibility. Today’s featured image (top) is a couple of Turkey Vultures occupying what is usually an Osprey perch and spreading their wings to soak up the morning sunshine. The only other not so usual sighting was the crow (or Raven) pictured here. This one was very talkative but was only talking to himself.
