We hiked on Sunday afternoon .... and there was a lot of snow. This Blue jay seemed to follow us for part of the hike. Teresa took the first photo, and I captured the last two.

As for the snow, we saw a couple guys running the snow covered trails in the snow (See the photo). I guess it was not that bad out there. At least the trail was plowed and the temperature was mild.

I took this photo a week ago before all of this white stuff happend. I guess there was a little snow on the ground, but nothing like what we have right now. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for spring.

How Fast?

The Mourning Dove is a beautiful bird. Yes, they can obnoxious and make a mess, but they are so peaceful. I like watching them land. They have a very different cadence to their flight when approaching to land. If you listen close, you can also hear this interesting whistling sound as they take-off and land. Its cool.

What I did not know:

  • They can fly up to 55 mph. I had no idea.
  • They generally have two doves per brood, but they can do this up to six times a year.

They are not hard to find ... they are everywhere in towns, cities, and in the woods.

Snow And More Snow

I sure hope eveyone is safe and warm. We have not been able to get out and take photos for a couple days. Sadly, in some parts of the US, people are having big issue with the cold and snow. Be safe!

This photo was taken last weekend. I love the color of the Carolina Chickadee.

These photos of seveal Downy Woodpeckers were captured over the past two weeks. The frist one is a female that I photographed this week. The second and third photo are the same woodpecker photographed as he move around in the tree. The 3rd photo was taken on a different day, in a different tree.
