Kestrel in Valley Forge Today

 This little kestrel kept me hopping today in Valley Forge.  Just wish he had found something while I was there, but no such luck


Fox and Harrier Hawk in Valley Forge (Click for Better View)

I was tracking this harrier hawk yesterday morning when he suddenly jerked up.  When I looked at my photo stream, I realized it was a fox he had come across.  Oh the wonders!!

Fox Encounter at Valley Forge




.                                                    I was standing in the middle of tall grass in a grove of trees watching a pair of cardinals when this little fox came walking through the field behind me.  I slowly turned the camera and tripod around and faced the fox.  I started taking his picture and I think he was curious about the clicking sound as he warily and slowly came right up to me.  He was not the least bit afraid.  I took my eye from the camera and said hello.  He just cocked his head and then ambled off.  Oh the wonders of Valley Forge National Park.
