Along our walk today on the island, Thom showed me the nest of a heron in a tree over Nauyaug trail. The lighting was difficult but the subjects did not seem to care about our presence and did not move the entire time.

Later we were looking a one of the “tick” stations when a young deer suddenly popped his head up and stared at us.

During our walk back past the pond, a catbird scolded us for no apparent reason.

Our visit to the osprey nest on Schoolhouse road yielded a reasonable documentary shot of the mother and a sibling. The sibling was seen flapping wings and could be ready to fly. The washed out presentation of the image is due to boosting exposure of a dark original.
