On the River

Early this morning, as the sun was rising, I was out on the river in my canoe. Not only was I paddling, but I also pressed my shutter release buttons a few times. My goals were to document birds (turkey vultures and a great blue heron) and to create images that put viewers in the action.

I am not sure if I was successful on the last goal, but I did end up with interesting images.

We continue to have a number of turkey vultures gathering along Indian Pond. This photo shows a young turkey vulture with an adult turkey vulture.
