Thanks ladies, there's more driving videos to come. They just take so long to upload. I sat in McDonalds for 3 hours waiting for those 2 videos. Sheesh! Oh well, I will persevere!
On day 11 in Paradise I would find the Egyptian Geese on top of the hay stacks in the barn by the pond where they were swimming yesterday. I came upon 3 doe and 1 small buck just hanging out in the road ahead of me. I took some pics and then blew the horn to scare them out of the road and up into the woods. The young bull calf up the road was out in view and started to feed off mom. And I filmed 10 videos today-mostly riding around the ranch so you get a feel for what I get to do everyday. They take an extremely long time to upload to youtube and since I have to sit in McDonalds while they do so I will be doing only 2 per day. I hope you enjoy the ride!
Day 10 in Paradise bagged me my first falcon in Arkansas. I saw 2 Kestrels-the smallest of the falcon family. One was hunting off a wire near a housing track. It had light coloring and I barely got a take off shot as it was very quick to stoop. My second started on a wire and moved to a tree before leaving the area but he stayed a while with me. Kestrels don't normally hang out in one spot too long especially when someone is watching them. I also came across the Egyptian Geese again. When they saw me stop to have a look they both waddled their way into the pond. I guess they think MAK can't swim and feel safer in the water! lol
