Persistence

This photo reminded me of this quote from Calvin Coolidge:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Double Take Nuthatch

Teresa captured this photo while we were hiking last week. The second White-breasted Nuthatch is a little out of focus .. I guess there is too much depth.

In the Nuthatch family, this is one of the larger birds. The fact is, its still a very small bird, and always hunting for bugs to eat.

The Chickadee

The weather was mild on Wednesday, so we took a hike. We walked one of the trials at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. We didn’t see many birds, but I did catch this Carolina Chickadee hanging around near the fishing pond. This is the second time I have seen this species this fall. I will just say this: they are hard to catch in a photo. They dart around and are relatively small.

The Carolina Chickadee are found in a large range, covering some 2 million square kilometers. I read that there is an estimated 18 million of them. Not bad for this small bird. (iBird App Facts).

Widow Shopping?

Teresa took this photo of this Downy Woodpecker doing some window shopping. I have to wonder if he can’t figure out how to get to his dinner. Very cute.
