The new Eurasian and our regular doves.



This is an Osprey picture from wikipedia.com


Below is an Osprey picture taken Saturday afternoon, 1.5 miles east of the Mink Creek turn off. It is on the river side of the road just East of where the small loop road ( Starts just North of the silver jumping bridge) meets the Mink Crick highway.

It looks like this Osprey is building a new nest on this power pole right next to the highway.
This shot is looking S W.






The Doc's gym expansion is going to be quite large.
Footings are going in fast.


This is the North footing.




Criss-crossy patterns, with Preston in the distance.

Many fields are developing a new green hue.


Ive noticed a lot of rooster pheasants around the valley.
I suspect the pheasant raisers have turned them loose here and there.


Riverdale turkeys -- lookin for love.




Oxfords and Little Mountain.
