Looking At You, Dude

It has been a while since I captured a good photo of a cardinal. These photos are a little dark, but the cardinal was so beautiful. In that second photo, he was looking straight at us ... at least it seemed like it. Fun!

Sapsucker Surprise

We had just wrapped up a nice hike at Charleston Falls Preserve. As we were walking near the entry to the trail, I noticed this woodpecker. I was really surprised when I was able to get a better view and discovered that it was a sapsucker. To be more specific, I believe this is a female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

Nature is full of surprises.

Warbler?

I believe this is a Warbler, but I really am not sure. There are a large variety of warblers and I can’t tell what this is. It looks like a Yellow Warbler or a Yellow-rumped (Mytlie) Warbler. I had trouble getting a good photo so a good identification was difficult. What do you think?

Two For One

Teresa captured this photo of this American Goldfinch earlier this week. I love the reflection. The focus is even better on the reflection .. a two for one photo. Great shot, Teresa.

A Mouse?

I usally don’t see the Tufted Titmouse until we are well into winter. I saw this one last week.They are such a small but beautiful bird.

I read at least one place that most Tufted Titmice live their entire life within a few kilometers of their birthplace. That is wild. A little more:

The lifespan of the tufted titmouse is approximately 2.1 years, although it can live for more than ten years. On average, these birds will have a clutch size of five to seven eggs. Unlike many birds, the offspring of tufted titmice will often stay with their parents during the winter, and even after the first year of their life. Sometimes, a bird born the year before will help its parents raise the next year's young. See wilkpedia for more information.
