I've been running around today mostly looking for wild turkeys. What I found was lots more geese. Boy, we have got geese in this town. This morning much of the open water at least had frozen into ice, so I found a lot of geese hanging out, and there's some interesting shots of them taking off and landing on the ice. Actually, that was really funny because they would slide two or three feet upon touching down--which might make an interesting painting. So, there's more photos of geese.
I did manage to spot one group of turkeys, but as soon as I got within 50 feet or so, they scattered into the woods. I only managed to get a few shots of them, but I'm going to try again tomorrow. I know of some more promising places to look.
It might sound cheesy, but I've been going out to my Grandma's house--she doesn't live very far from us, but it's quieter out there, and farther from town. She puts out a lot of seed for the birds and corn for the deer, so there's wildlife out there pretty much all the time. I got out there pretty late in the day yesterday, but there were deer out in the yard when I pulled up and they stayed there through dusk. I spotted a 4-point buck by the road on my drive home, but it was dark and he ran off before I could get out the camera. I'm going out again tomorrow to try for more songbirds--she has a local family of cardinals that are there pretty consistently. So I have some dusk deer photos, and a few shots of a squirrel by my house that I thought was especially cute.
