A Red-Tailed Christmas

This Red-tailed Hawk has nothing to do with Christmas but I wanted to share the beauty of this bird.

Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy time with Family. If you are alone or suffering in some way this day I send our prayers for comfort and peace.

The White-throated Sparrows seem to be the most common sparrow right now. We see a many of them every day.

Hey, I Was Eating

We do not see Bald Eagles at Big Woods often but this one was feasting on a dead racoon. . She noticed us and took off into the wind, soaring right above us. She landed right above me. I imagine she wasn’t too thrilled that we interrupted her lunch.

Tapping Into The Morning

I just love the sound of a woodpecker .. yes the sound. It echos over the silence and you know it's there. This Downy Woodpecker was catching a snack.
