Today on the Ompompanoosuc River, we saw a variety of wildlife, not all of which we photographed.

The birds are banding together. We saw at least 10 turkey vultures circling in the air. Three flocks of geese flew by, two in a “v” formations, and one not quite.

We also saw a white tailed deer, disappearing into the woods. and a warbler so close that my lens couldn’t focus on it. A very nice paddle.
