A December Sky?

What a beautiful day. The temperature was great and check out the blue sky. The first two photos are along the Stillwater river, just off or Rangeline Road in Miami County. The last photo is along the bike path in Piqua. I could take this all winter .. guess I need to move south.

A Creeper

This was a first. We were hiking at Charleston Falls Preserve one day last week. I thought I saw a woodpecker but after a closer look I quickly realized it wasn't. What I photographed was a Brown Creeper.

The creepers behavior is descried on Wikipedia, which really was visible when we saw this cool bird:

Brown creepers forage on tree trunks and branches, typically spiraling upwards from the bottom of a tree trunk, and then flying down to the bottom of another tree. They creep slowly with their body flattened against the bark, probing with their beak for insects. They will rarely feed on the ground. They mainly eat small arthropods found in the bark, but sometimes they will eat seeds in winter.

Very cool bird and thankful to see one on this warmer December day.

The Falls .. Always Beautiful

There is a lot less water running over the falls than in some past photos, but it is still a beautiful sight.

I’m Only Here For The Feast

We don't see Black Vultures this far north very often. It happens, but just not that often. On this day, they found a deer off the side of the road and they were there in numbers. Kind of look like Mr Ugly (Turkey Vulture).

Hiking Diversity

Teresa took this photo while we were hiking last week. I am always amazed at the diversity we encounter. This is very different than many of the places we hike. I love all the trees.
