Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge - 10/20/2011

While the Rangers and I wait on the cold snaps to continue and drive the migratory birds farther South to WNR.....my time is passed taking photos of targets of opportunity (or in other words "not taking photos of what is not there"). Today was Pie-billed Grebes Day. We had 8 on the observation pond with all of the eight having good meals on fish and crawfish. I did not see a Grebe not score a meal and afterwards the group took naps as the "old man" Mockingbird glared at the Finches trying to steal seeds from "his" feeders. A beautiful morning but it would have been better hearing those Sandhill Cranes churping as they apporach the cornfield.
