Fall Birds - October 30, 2010

An early morning ride before work turned up a few very nice birds in and among the fall foliage.

The Great Blue Heron was roosting along the Essex River in the center of town.

A pair of Red-tailed Hawks sitting among the Bittersweet along Rte 133 in Essex

and lastly an Eastern Screech Owl spending it's daylight hours watching the traffic go by along Rte 133 in Ipswich.
