Birds

The osprey found a nice quiet place to eat his fish (except for our brief intrusion). We managed to get our shot without disturbing him too much. We stayed in our mobile bird blind (the jeep).

It's surprising how birds don't react to a vehicle nearly as much as they react to the form of a person. Approaching on foot will scatter them from twice as far away as approaching in a vehicle. Even the motorhome is a good bird blind, especially if it has been parked for awhile. Sometimes it's a little hard to get the motorhome in to exactly where the birds are, though. Parking in a state park helps.
