critters

They were chasing each other -- mating season maybe, and hopped onto the local trees to get away from me. This retaining wall is near the river. I hope that the river never got this tall ... I was tens (~ 20) of feet above the already high river. For Fort Wayner's this is West Swinney Park.

This little muskrat was nicely swimming in the creek off Yohne Road.
heron flying over Airport Expressway
It isn't a different or odd color, but rather it is flying toward a sunset casting a strange orange on its feathers.
fur in a tree
either a predator put it there or a very healthy jumpy rabbit met with the branches
poor shot: light and movement ruined it.
falcon in a tree
blurry shot, but shows the miserable weather Allen County has had for walking and photography
old roadkill down to just bones
some miserable day with stored nuts in tree -- birds look at a lone, cold, miserable walker with a camera
same day with heron, being dead on the road stinks
Foster Park West, dead raccoon ... no apparent trauma
maybe it drown
same raccoon from above
opossum, roadkill
they smell so bad "playing dead", I think they stay untouched for a few days after dying
