Leupold BX-4 Rangefinding Binoculars

Sunday Pic of the Day

This guy was in the middle of a battle with a tree swallow. Surprisingly, even in aerial combat, the swallow lost. I wasn't expecting to see a bluebird nesting over water, but this guy and his mate seemed to have a cavity in this stump. I wonder if they are at all successful in fledging any youngsters, or if cavites in flooded timber are just sink habitats. I'd be interested to figure that out.

At the time, I was trying, yet again, to catch a fish. This photo was taken from a canoe with a cell phone (and thus the poor quality). I was surpised that he let me get so close. For that matter, a couple of deer on the banks also let me get incredibly close. Apparently, I'm not very threatening when on the water.

Certainly, the fish did not find me dangerous, so there must be some truth to that.
