I was out for an early hike at Fort Hill when I saw this White-tailed Deer on the boardwalk munching away. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

She looked at me and I told her it was a beautiful day to be on the trail. She just continued eating away as I walked by. She wasn’t bothered by me at all.

You can hear the distinct call of the Common Yellowthroat at Fort Hill, but they’re pretty elusive if you want a good photo. As I was looking up into all the trees trying to find that elusive, little bird, Phil saw a little yellow flash in the bush across the trail, got his camera and clicked away. He was the lucky one that day!

As soon as I got out of my car, this chatty Catbird was trying to get my attention. He was just yacking away, making so much noise.
it wasn’t until he alighted on this branch way up high in the tree, that I got my camera out and starting clicking. What a perfect photo op. Thank you, Mr. Catbird! You made my day!

The Poet’s Narcissus windflowers are just gorgeous and blooming by the lower parking lot at Fort Hill. Poet’s Narcissus is a fragrant late-spring blooming daffodil known for its white petals and small, red-rimmed yellow cup, often called the “pheasant’s eye.” Isn’t it stunning?

Mythological Origin: The flower is associated with the Greek myth of Narcissus, who, in some versions, died from heartbreak or drowned while looking at his reflection in a pool. The white flower that grew there is said to have a nodding head, mimicking his gaze into the water.”
