On the Road with Curtis

Today, Curtis had a long day on the road. It was a 4 hour drive one way to Hamilton, which is west and south of us. I told him I would go with, to keep him company and help drive if needed. All for 45 min. worth of work.
It is hazy and smokey out. One could smell the smoke as soon as we opened the door in Hamilton.
We took a little drive through the John Metcalfe Nature Refuge.
Before we got there I noticed these 2 huge birds sitting on some fence posts, with another 3 flying around. Turns out they were some kind of vulture. Also one sand hill crane walking around in a field.
Not too much happening until we got to the last pond. Saw a couple of blue heron, but they flew away before the camera got out. We were driving along and saw some osprey and ducks on the water. Soon we turned the corner and could see another blue heron fishing in the water. We had a performance by the osprey fishing the waters. A cool outing.
