Winter Wildlife Part 2

Hey, Hey its Al Bugg from winter Wildlife studios. Today is winter wildlife part 2. Yeah!

I got out a few days back at the end of 2019 and got different photographs of different spices of wildlife that are residents in my neighborhood pond.

The top photo is a Male hooded Merganser. They are uncommon around here but in the winter, they do fly in flocks, they like to be on open waters such as wooded ponds which I have here in this neighborhood, swamps, tidal creeks.

The second wildlife, I photographed was a Turkey Volture which are very common around here in the piedmont region of North Carolina. I have been trying many times to get pictures of them comedown and capturing prey, which I still have not one but maybe this year will be the year it finally happens and I might get some pictures of it, If I am around the area when this occurs.

These are Mallards which are also common around here in the piedmont region of North Carolina. I did photograph some last year when It was matting season and I still have proof of it that it occurred in my neighborhood pond.

This was taken on the fist day of January of 2020. The great blue heron still is here wandering around my neighborhood pond and catching many fish. The Great Blue Heron that day caught 2 fish and have proof of it for the beginning of 2020.

I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake .

This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there.

This is a crab spider , I photographed on my butterfly bush, that I planted a few month back in the spring.
