Chickadee Scavengers

Sunday I went out looking for some spring run-off to photograph. I didn't find much, but I did find what looked like a deer carcass rib cage. That was interesting for a bit. As I was getting ready to leave, chickadees came down and started feeding off it. I found if I was quiet and stealthy, I could get closer and closer to the birds.

So...this group of pictures starts off kind of gross and ends up with some standard chickadee birds on a branch pictures.

Good Luck Travis

Friday we had a little going away party at work for Travis. I understand going away means a long, long way. Travis will be defending our country in Afghanistan. I have so much respect for these guys. That makes two people I know who are over there now and deserve our respect and prayers.

Good luck Travis, Godspeed and come home safely.

This is the first time we've attended the event and it certainly was fun. The organizers did a great job. Chuck a Puck was especially fun to watch. McGruff the Crime Dog was also in attendance and posed for a few pictures.

Lots of pictures below, enjoy...
