Northern Flicker

IMG_0668.JPG

While hiking along the banks of the Miami River this week, I saw a larger bird fly into the tree line. I lost it in the trees. I kept looking, but just could not find her. A few minutes of walking later, we headed back the other direction. As we returned to the spot where I lost this bird, I saw something move. There she was .. A Northern Flicker. She just sit there long enough for me to take this photo.

Defending The Fort

Teresa took this photo yesterday. This Eastern Bluebird is just beautiful. We saw a couple of them, but this one was more intense. We have seen more eastern bluebirds this spring then in the past. That is good!!!

Here is a video of our hiking over two days this week. We visited several spots along the Miami River, and also stopped at Garbry Big Woods. If you love cardinals like I do, this video is for you. They are very active right now.

Fly Catching 🦟

We saw this pair of flycatchers earlier this week. It is the first we have seen this year. I think they are Alder Flycatchers, but I could be wrong. I didn’t get a good photo. It’s not perfectly focused, but you can see them. Good to see them back.

Woodpecker Convention?

I can’t get over how many woodpeckers I am seeing this year. Maybe I am getting better at looking, or I am just in the right places. I seem to see them every place I go right now. Maybe there is a Woodpecker convention?

Take a Mulligan

A few days ago I posted a photo of a Red-winged Blackbird. That photo was not up to my standards, so I’m posting two more that I find more to my liking. Beautiful birds. Enjoy the weekend.
