I love the light and shadows in this photo. The Downy Woodpecker was all over this tree and I was thankful to get this capture. Beautiful.

Check out this Red-bellied Woodpecker. That is amazing how far they can rotate their heads. She is not only a beautiful bird but has talent.

It has been a while since we have photographed a Mallard. The female was there too.

I am really surprised how few of them we have seen this year.
