Got 'Em!

Went back to Beaver Marsh in CVNP looking for kingfishers and found the whole family. Both shots below are at the limits of my longest lens, and cropped to boot, but I'm happy to have caught these guys. They move pretty fast, and rarely stay on the same perch for more than a minute.



Found a few more interesting critters. Here's a red squirrel overhead, chattering away.


Eastern Phoebe - like the bird's pose, entirely too many sticks in the background.


Better. Apparently the phoebes nest under the boardwalk and hunt from the shrubs on either side.
.

One of many bullfrogs in the marsh - which explains the presence of so many Great Blue and Green Herons.


Still no otters, so the search goes on.
