A hungry woodpecker

Over the last 15 months, I have stopped at this location many times. The county setup a few bird feeders, but I rarely see birds using them. This time was different. Now that the weather is cold, the birds are there in numbers. This downy woodpecker was taking care of business.

Winter cardinal

This is the first ‘good’ cardinal photo I have captured in many months. I have taken a few other photos of cardinals, but they have not been very good.

I was able to get out Sunday afternoon and take a few photos. I didn’t take any video, but several decent photos. That felt really good (and cold). Have a great week.

Geese flyover

This past Sunday morning, we hiked in the snow. The snow had stopped, but these geese had to check it all out. There is something cool about how geese fly. Generally they are messy birds, but grace is not something they lack when flying.

Downy :)

This is a downy woodpecker. They are very common in this part of Ohio and they don’t migrate. I didn’t see very many of them until later Fall, but now they seem to be everywhere I hike. Cool woodpecker!

Those beautiful waxwing

This is another shot from early this fall. There was dozens of these Ceadar Waxwings at Stilwater Prairie Reserve on that fall day. They are such a beautiful bird.
