Looking at the card in the camera.

I love bird pics.  I get a ton of them and save most of them because they are just cool.

Great pic !!

Thank you.

We have had unusual amount of moisture this spring. The grass is now over waist tall. I was going to knock it down for fire season. Hooked the mower up to the tractor and my 3rd pass around the pasture I flushed out a fawn.  It hadn't been out of the chute very long. Maybe the size of a cocker spaniel if that. I thought I could get a photo of it and I wanted to see if I had hit it with the tractor. I found it and when I got my phone out it flushed again. I'm done pestering it. Got the mower in the places I had already mowed and when I turned down back to the house I had a pair of them in the grass. So I just put up the equipment for a while.

I hope we don't turn off as dry as last year. Could be another bad fire season if it does.

Grass is tall enough I can just see the does ears and the top of their backs.

Ya that's some bird pic I got the other day.
Yup grass is pretty tall.

Is that a Golden Eagle?

[Ridgeratt]

Perhaps

I do have an overabundance of crows, but that's the biggest crow I have seen. It also has a different head than a crow.

Is that a Golden Eagle?

Not a Golden eagle. Golden eagles have white on the underside of their tails with black tips. And their heads are not that smooth.

I thought it might be a Juvi.  The yellow around the mouth sure looks like a Golden.

What is it then?  not a hawk as far as I can tell, not a Juvi Bald Eagle as it is not mottled.

It is large...

got back to my card reader.

Almost ran over this last week. 🙌 I was brush hogging the pasture and it or the other one flushed out in front of the tractor. But I have had several does in the tall grass so not sure just how many could be hiding in the grass.

Went exploring this morning and had this little one running down the road and mom was down hill trying to get it to follow her.
