My What A Long Beak You Have

I am so happy that Teresa spotted this Northern Flicker. I would have walked passed him without noticing. I am really thankful she enjoys hiking and photography as much as I do ... I hate to think of how many great photos would be missed without her great eye.

As for this flicker, he's looking thin.

How The View Has Changed

This is one of my favorite spots in all of Miami County, Ohio. This is the Stillwater river and it is just beautiful. Frankly, this photo does not do it justice. The beauty speaks to my soul in a deep way.

I have photographed this view so many times, but it is extra special in the spring. The colors make the photo: the greens and other colors of summer are great. It's nice in hot too.

Have a great day.

A Cat?

I have heard several Gray Catbirds when we have been hiking this spring but I have not been able to get a good photo. Teresa saw this one and while we both captured a few photos, mine were less than good. Teresa captured this photo and it is great.

Butterfly Time

Wow, I love this photo. We saw our first Viceroy Butterfly of the season this past Sunday but this photo really excited me. It is beautiful. {Maintain control, Rick} ..

I Guess He Needed A Break

It is rare that we see a Tree Swallow this close and not flying around. They have amazing sills in the air. In the Wikipedia entry they refers to them as 'aerial insectivore'. They are so fun to just watch fly.
