I went "hunting" for birds with my camera around dawn this morning, and what should show up, almost in my lap? I got within about 100 ft of two this-year-pups before we noticed each other. (Dang autofocus picked up the foreground-grass in most of my shots.)


This was in Sacajawea State Park. It has a nice patch of wild ground. I saw deer, rabbit, and lots of birds as well. (No bird images worth writing home about.)
