Surprise!

Adjustments.jpeg

I took several photos of this Red-bellied woodpecker this week. He was going back and forth between this tree, and a bush that had some old berries left over from the warmer weather. I think he had just saw me for the 1st time, and seemed to not care. He continued to take this trip back and forth. In the second photo, he had a beak full.

The Birds

Do you remember the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds?. I remember the first time I saw that film .. freaked me out.

I thought of that movie when looked up and saw this view while hiking this week. Luck for us, they didn’t attack. Crazy.

A Proud Robin

The American Robin .. they are always around. Seriously, I can go out in some of the worst weather and see a robin. They migrate, but I see them around here in large numbers most of the year.

Out For Dinner

It has been a while since I saw a Downy Woodpecker. We actually saw more than one, but it was difficult to get a good count. They were eating at this feeder at Big Woods. Cold weather .. eat out for dinner.

Not A Vegan

Adjustments.jpeg

I really enjoy watching woodpeckers. They are not as hyper as some species, but they are intense about insects. I guess they have to eat .. clearly not vegan. My kind of bird. 😬

We saw this red-bellied woodpecker at Big Woods. They stick around all winter, so it was not a surprise to find him. The bird population has thinned out, so they have less competition for food.
