Nut Time

We almost missed this squirrel. She was in a tree and just off to the right of the trail. Her color was a little different. She had a dark streak that was cool. I love how focused she was on her nut time.

Flicker!

The Northern Flicker is a larger woodpecker. I don’t know why, but when I see one flying, it takes me a while to identify it. They are unique and I should be quicker .. but I guess I have a mental block.

Make Some Noise

You never know where you are going to find birds hanging out. We had hiked about 2 miles. We had only seen a single bird, but had not taken any bird photos. Suddenly, there were birds all around us. Frankly, I was not successful at capturing photos of all of them, but we did get a few good photos.

I enjoyed watching this male Downy Woodpecker. I guess he was making some noise in the top photo.

Goose Crossing

We see this scene frequently: a gaggle of geese crossing the bike trail. This was repeatred this week on two occasions while we were hiking. They were all relaxing and getting a snack on the hillside to the left in this photo ... until we came along. Then they lined up, crossed the bike path, and then one by one jumped into the river.

Upgrade Time

I purchased a new iPhone 12 Pro Max last week. This is a very large phone, but I love the camera. The lens system has been revised, and it is very cool. I have been testing it all week! The four ponds I included today were all captured using the standard camera app on this new phone. I slightly edited the photos (reduced shadows and highlights, and slightly increased the birghtness). I am impressed. I need to get a night shot. That’s coming, but the photo below is a night shot I took just as a quick test. Its not framed well, but you get the idea.
