Cool animal pictures 2018-4

 These are one of my favorite animals...the Highland cattle from Scotland!  They live about 1/4 mile from our house.

 

The owner, who happens to be the same guy that owns the horses in the field behind our house, told Livy she need to go name the new calves that were born this year.  

The cows are not shy!

 I love it when the horses come back.  The guy that owns them takes them somewhere else during the winter, but come spring, they are our neighbors again!

 The pelicans made a grand entrance!

 So much going on down by the river!

 This turkey vulture was flying pretty low this day.  Can't tell very well from this picture, but he has a red head, and a huge wing span!

 The Canada Geese are all over the place, we keep watching for the goslings, but haven't seen any yet.

 This picture...I saw this guy down fishing in the river where the pelicans hang out.  I wanted to see if it was possible to take a picture with my phone through the telescope.  Kind of a cool picture.  I didn't notice till I pulled it up on the computer that there was a Great blue heron in the picture!

...and this picture, It was dusk, and I could see a deer in the opening out in the field, so I stuck my camera on the tripod, and set the shutter to stay open to see if I could get a picture of the deer.  I was quite surprised when I looked at the picture and there were at least 6 deer out there!  I had no idea!

P.S. All of these can be seen from my deck, except for the cows.  I live in a pretty cool place!
