Wow! I thnk this is one of the best photos I have every taken of a male Northern Flicker. What a beautiful bird. Maybe I should have cropped it a little more, but I sure love it.

I have not words for this photo. This female Northern Cardinal was just beautiful. The males are amazing with all the bright red, but I find the females as interesting with more color variety.

I bet you didn't see the American Goldfinch. Do you she him? The Red-bellied Woodpecker is much larger and his colors stand out. We put out some bird food and these two came for pictures.

I love this photo. Teresa took this photo of this Red-bellied Woodpecker at Garbry Big Woods Reserve. You may not see much of the bird, but it's the whole photo that makes this a great photo.
I have to share another story from earlier this week. Early one morning this week while driving to the gym I notidced a odd grinding noise. I had not heard it the day earlier and had no idea what it was. I thought it was coming from the back of the car. When I got to the gym I tried to see if there was something dragging under the car but it was too dark to see anything. After my workout I drove home but when I tried again to look under the car it was just too dark to see anything. After sunrise we drove to Big Woods Reserve to feed / photograph the birds. Well, it was still making the same noise. Now that it was light enough I looked under the hood and under the car (in the parking lot now). I could not see anything. Teresa was sure it was coming from the front of the car .. I was less sure. I turned the wheels to the left so we could look again .. I could not see anything. Then Teresa saw this:
Can you see the walnut? It was crazy .. I am sure this is the work of an evil squirrel.
