Kevin and his Dad went for a November hike at Greene Valley Forest Preserve in Naperville.
Kevin navigated which path to take. The area is known for hawks.
|
|
|
|
|
Here is another view of this red-tailed hawk.
|
|
A robin is easy to spot in the leafless trees.
|
|
|
|
|
A few cardinals were visible, their bright red color making them stand out in the gray trees and bushes.
|
|
|
|
|
A chickadee was first heard, and then seen in this tree.
|
|
Juncos foraged on the ground for food.
|
|
|
|
|
Several deer were seen on the hike. One was amazingly big.
Here is a smaller one they heard in the woods and got a picture.
|
|
Here is where Kevin believes the deer were sleeping earlier.
