The sky was clear of clouds, but it was a bit hazy this morning, and I don’t know if it was moisture or Canada wildfire smoke. In any case, it didn’t seem to bother the critters, and here are the pair of deer, a young buck and doe, crossing the soccer fields with the Benjamin Church House in the background.
I usually hear the wood pewees, instead of seeing them, so it was a treat to see one again soaking up some morning sun at the north end by the river.
On my way back south, this young-looking rabbit was parked on a picturesque part of the trail below the falls.
Meanwhile this green heron found itself a nice high perch across the river from the rabbit, and you can just see a bit of its right foot poking out through its belly feathers.
This belted kingfisher was checking the sky for threats just south of the heron.
Finally, here’s a chipmunk enjoying its breakfast.
