Today I ventured out to a refuge that I almost always have good luck finding wildlife to photograph. I was able to find a variety of ducks wadding and foraging in a shallow pond on my way in the refuge. I stopped and spent a few minutes watching them before I continued further into the refuge. It did not take long before I found a beautiful Red-Shouldered Hawk perched on top of a dead tree in the middle of a marshy area. The hawk was perched and appeared to be hunting. While I did not see the hawk actually hunt, I was able to spend some time with it, getting some different angled shots.
I then headed down to an area where I heard a kingfisher calling. To my surprise, I also found an American Mink. I was really excited because I had never seen a mink before let alone photograph one. I sat watching the minks for some time and was able to get some great videos and photos of them.
I hope you enjoy todays adventure and I would like to thank you for watching.
