Fall Beauty

Each season bring a own unique beauty to the outdoors. As we transiton from the summer to winter, the fall brings a special beauty. The contrast between the river, the bare trees and this amazing blue sky .. I could stand in this spot and absorb the view for hours. Instead of that, I just capture it in a photo. 🤔🚶🏻‍♂️

The Chickadee

The weather was mild on Wednesday, so we took a hike. We walked one of the trials at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. We didn’t see many birds, but I did catch this Carolina Chickadee hanging around near the fishing pond. This is the second time I have seen this species this fall. I will just say this: they are hard to catch in a photo. They dart around and are relatively small.

The Carolina Chickadee are found in a large range, covering some 2 million square kilometers. I read that there is an estimated 18 million of them. Not bad for this small bird. (iBird App Facts).

Widow Shopping?

Teresa took this photo of this Downy Woodpecker doing some window shopping. I have to wonder if he can’t figure out how to get to his dinner. Very cute.

Snow And Ice

Joyce, this is for you. I took this photo after that snow fall a couple weeks ago. You can see the fine layer of ice on the creek. It was cold that afternoon, so I didn’t take very many photos.

Surprise!

I took several photos of this Red-bellied woodpecker this week. He was going back and forth between this tree, and a bush that had some old berries left over from the warmer weather. I think he had just saw me for the 1st time, and seemed to not care. He continued to take this trip back and forth. In the second photo, he had a beak full.
