I love the White-breasted Nuthatch. They are a very cool bird that never rest. They are always going up and down the trees looking for lunch (bugs).

I shot this photo of this Red-winged Blackbird this past weekend. He was hiding in the trees until just after I photographed him. I really like this photo.

The Black Vulture do not normally fly as far north as our normal hiking area. We saw these as we were driving from site to site just south of Piqua. I was driving while Teresa captured this photo.
I think in the years I have been photographing birds, I have only seen a black vulture this far north once. They are different than Turkey Vultures ... a little more about this species:
The black vulture is a scavenger and feeds on carrion, but will also eat eggs or kill newborn animals (livestock such as cattle). In areas populated by humans, it also feeds at garbage dumps. It finds its meals either by using its keen eyesight or by following other (New World) vultures, which possess a keen sense of smell. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It lays its eggs in caves or hollow trees or on the bare ground, and generally raises two chicks each year, which it feeds by regurgitation. In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. (Wikipedia)

Another day, a different woodpecker. This time is was a female Downy Woodpecker. She really did not stay in any one spot very long, but I got a few good photos.

It has been a while since I captured a good photo of a Red-bellied Woodpecker . I captured this photo a couple weeks ago. He was just looking around and taking it all in.
