Birds Return
I have heard them singing for awhile now, but finally was able to get out and get some pictures of the birds by the lake. I can't wait to go boat riding again.

Bear
Saturday while on our way to my parent house we saw two black bear club and their mother along the road. The mother stayed back in the woods further but she didn't let the little guys out of her sight. I can honestly say these are the first bears that I have gotten the chance to photograph. I was so excited and a little scared.

Saw-whet Owl
The Northern Saw-whet Owl is a very small, short-bodied, Owl with a
relatively short tail. The overly large head has no ear tufts and may
appear distorted due to an asymmetrical skull. They look small when
perched and tend to shuffle their feet, but in flight appear larger
because of their broad wings.
The facial disk has brownish and whitish radials around the edge, which fade to a whitish area around the eyes. There is also a dark area from the base of the bill to the bottom inside edge of each eye. The rest of the head is brownish to grey-brown and densely covered with white streaks, especially on the forehead. The eyes are large and bright yellow-orange. The bill is black.
Plumage is quite fluffy and brownish or reddish brown overall streaked with white underneath and spotted on the back. Flight feathers are spotted white. The legs and feet are light buff and heavily feathered. The toes are lightly feathered and the claws are dark horn with blackish tips.
