Winter Wildlife Wonders

What a great week to view winter wildlife! I was lucky enough to head out with my camera three times this week in hopes of capturing the perfect Bald Eagle picture. I didn't capture the one I was hoping for but these are a few to share. I also took out my little brother and the girls that I babysit. We all enjoyed sitting and watching these amazing animals as long as they would let us. Of course the time that we got the closes, I didn't have my camera. But it was a cool experience, none the less.



While I was out observing the eagles, I got a few other photo ops. 







Trevor and I ended the week with a hunting adventure. Our last one before our hunting licenses expired. Trevor tells a great story about this hunt. If you ever get a chance to ask him about it, you should. But long story short: Trevor was the one carrying the gun. He had shot at a squirrel about 10 times with no luck. (He just got a new gun and forgot to pull the bead down.) That squirrel didn't stick around long. We soon came across another one. Trevor tried to shoot this one too. He was not successful. Pretty soon I hear him call me over. "Chelsie, can you please shoot this squirrel?" The next think out of his mouth was, "Holy crap!" On this hunting adventure, his big sister had to show him how it was done. GIRL POWER!






We went out again today but no luck! 

Be sure to take a child out with you when exploring the outdoors. I learned this week that they have a very unique point of view. They may see something that you do not! 
Happy Trails!

  1. Trevor tells that story very truthfully. The facial expressions are priceless. Either way, one squirrel down. That's what I call team work!
