Pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus)
I have been trying to capture this photograph for over a year. I saw my first Pileated Woodpecker on a lunch walk over a year ago. I was not able to get close enough to get a photograph. As I recall it, that one was much larger than the one in the photo here. But i’m getting ahead of myself ..
The Pileated Woodpecker is large, about the size of a crow. It is the largest woodpeckers in North America, and beautiful to observe in flight. I love the colors, and that red crest is stunning. They make a distinct ‘wuk’ call, which often makes me feel like I’m in a deep jungle. A beautiful creature.
This one was shot shortly after sunrise. I heard it in the deeper woods, and kept trying to locate him. I finally walked away, then saw him fly into a nearby tree. It took some time to locate him, but I was able to get a few amazing photos. Mother nature was so kind to me. This made my day.

Winter or House Wren (Troglodytes hiemalis)
I love listening to nature’s musicians, as I try to identity them. This is a Wren. I took this photo near the Great Miami River between Piqua and Troy, Ohio. I didn’t have the right lens with me, but I was able to capture this photo. It’s still beautiful.
I believe this is a Winter Wren, but it could be a House Wren. They make beautiful music. Small, but vocal. Here is a link to various Wren Songs ... Listen to Wren Bird Songs here.

The temperature outdoors still feels like summer, but some of the trees are showing fall colors early. I captured this while talking a walk during lunch today. The leaves are starting to turn, and many are falling to the ground.
