Ann and I are thankful that, at our age, we can still get out and enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. That said, we have no encumberments, no close relatives, so we are free to do as we please regardless of what the calendar says. Besides, I wanted to play some more with my new Canon EOS 7D Mark II. So, a few days this week, including Thanksgiving morning, we got out and did what we love to do best. Here are a few highlights from those outings earlier this week. Enjoy.

Osprey on Thanksgiving Day. He loves this spot to do his hunting.
We saw many bird species, averaging about 30-35 each day. However, most photos were not display materiel. Just grab shots for ID, etc.
We added one more to our 2014 Big Year list. A Forster’s Tern a Lake Nasworthy. We are now at 198 in our goal to get to 200 by December 31. However, we are heading to the Davis Mountains area in two weeks so hopefully can get those two that we need out there.
