Most of the time, my time afield has a purpose.  Weather it's time to photograph Pennsylvania's Elk herd in Elk county, Bald Eagles around our many lakes, birds of all kinds singing or searching for food, or the White-tailed Deer, you just never know what else you are going to find.  I don't pass up a photographic opportunity but when I write my themed wildlife photo blogs, there isn't a place to put the "extras".
 

Wildlife is too interesting and beautiful to not share so this photo blog (Take One), and the next one (Take Two), will be filled with all the extra photos I've made in May and June of 2016.

I'll give you all a break and leave out the stories and animal facts this time.  I'll simply leave you with a title and identification so please enjoy.
