Bird watching

Today was a lovely day, a little windy, but sunny. We decided to take the boys for a walk through town, which literally takes about 15 minutes from end to end. One of the nice things about living in a small town.

During his fishing travels around the local creek, my husband found a few spots with lots of birds. I brought my camera, because honestly I need the practice capturing things that are moving fast! Sadly, some of them were just too fast, like the woodpeckers and the cardinals. They sure were pretty animals though.

The coolest was the hawk, and yes, I superimposed the shots together in photoshop because I took so many. It looked like it was having some trouble flying, and now looking at the pictures, I can see why. It was missing a clump of feathers out of one of it's wings. Poor thing. It was beautiful nonetheless.

And then, at the end of the trail, we ran into a big Russian Blue farm cat. With giant yellow eyes, watching from behind the grass. It was a fun walk.
