We took a trip out to Lake Thunderbird yesterday evening. Spent most of our time looking for eagles, but didn't see any. But, we saw lots of birds and deer. Saw 3 bucks. The rut must be starting, they were out and moving during the day.

I've seen this Roadrunner several times. He seems curious. Will almost always come out of the woods to check out a running vehicle, then dart back to cover.
