From a bike ride last month. I found this Great Blue Heron at Zink Lake on the Arkansas River in Tulsa.
On another day last month I was hiking on Turkey Mountain and came across this Red Shouldered Hawk. They are so intense!!
And then just a short distance down the trail.
This deer looking at me.
And a couple miles later
Found this deer in the shadows.

Hello Yogi,
I love both the heron and the hawk photos.
The deer are so sweet, I love to see them.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Blue herons are so graceful and tall As you know, we see a lot of deer in our area–always fun to watch not so good for our gardens as they are enormous eaters.
The deer are always my favorite sighting. What fun you had! That Heron is TALL! Hugs Diane
What a spectacular lineup of wildlife for a single month of trail adventures.That Red-Shouldered Hawk looks incredibly majestic, and you captured that intense gaze perfectly. Spotting two different deer on your hike must have felt so magical, especially the one hiding quietly in the shadows. Zink Lake seems like a fantastic spot too, since seeing a Great Blue Heron up close is always such a treat. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous snapshots from your bike rides and hikes.
…blue heron are always a treat to see.
The heron is a very proud looking bird, he looks like he could take anything on, have a nice weekend.
Wow! Awesome photos of your walk ~ the blue heron, the hawk and of course the sweet deer ~ Hugs ^_^
