Incidental Subjects Are Interesting, Too

While hoping for the larger, and some would say, more interesting subjects one is sometimes presented with other animals.  These, I call "incidental" subjects because they are not the species that I am seeking.  Never the less, I usually take advantage of their appearance and I have two species to share with you in this update.

First, the Brown Headed Cowbird.  The first photo is of a pair...


This photo is of  the female...


And here is the male with the distinctive brown head...


The second species is a groundhog.  Also known as pasture poodle, whistle pig, or woodchuck depending on the region where it is found...



Thanks for visiting.
