Tree Inspection

I wonder what kind of googies this male Red-bellied Woodpecker found. He was digging in there for a while.

Osprey

Over the last few years I have photographed an Osprey maybe 4 or 5 times. They have always been from a distance and generally not great photos. We were hiking the bike trail at Farrington Reserve one day this week when Teresa sa thisn Osprey. She was in a tree where we have often seen Bald Eagles. This was a special opportunity as he was feeding and we watched him fly over the river, catch lunch, and dine in a nearby tree. How cool (unless you were a fish in the river).

Pre-Teen

This is an immature American Goldfinch. It looks to be very young. I love this photo.

Love Those Colors

When I took this photo I sure didn't recognize this as a Cedar Waxwing .. but as soon as I saw the yellow and red I knew what it was. They are such a unique and beautiful bird.
