Gary and I took a ride up to Sky Meadow to look for some different birds to shoot. Most of the day was spent trying to shoot an ovenbird and pine warbler, both of which didn’t cooperate.
While we were eating our lunch we saw this fellow on a nearby rock with food in its beak, to see it once would have been luck but to see it keep coming back, led us to believe that there was a nest nearby and that the food was for the babies.
