Fontenelle Forest - June 9 2012



I arrived before sunrise today and was rewarded with a glance at a distant deer waling through the foggy forest.



A raccoon was searching for food along the shore. He glowed in the light of the rising sun.


Buffalo-bur doesn't normally bloom until July.


A Killdeer enjoyed the early morning light.

If this is a Swamp Aster, it is blooming early as well.



This Black-capped Chickadee was searching for lunch.


Wild Turkeys have become fairly common but truly wild ones are difficult to photograph in the wild.



This mother Wood Duck was followed by eight ducklings.
