A quick trip to Island Park turned into a long trip with some great opportunities. At the Macks Inn area I saw a Bald Eagle, 2 Osprey, Mallards, Merganser, and a Bufflehead. I was surprised that the Mallards did not take off as I was taking pictures of them. They were on the other side of the river form me but they always seem some of the first to go when anything gets close.
When I first looked at this osprey I thought oh I have never noticed how orange there feet are. At a closer look you can see blood on the belly of this bird.

I almost completely missed this moose as you cross the Buffalo Rive I glanced upstream and just as the river was turning my I caught something so I had to turn around and see what it was.

I walked along the river behind the trees to get a better shat of the moose and while I was taking pictures this White-tailed Deer wandered up to the river as well. I also was able to get some pictures as it crossed the river.

I was also surprised when this King Fisher posed for me while I tool pictures I almost had to stop underneath of it to get off the road.
