Clinging to an Oak Tree
For all the World to See
Beautiful in Colors of Three
I have been trying for several days to capture this gorgeous Red-headed Woodpecker with my camera. Finally got a few shots today!
It has been delightful observing their behavior of flying from tree to tree, chasing each other either in trying to impress a mate or intimidate a foe, drumming to announce their availability, digging a hole for a nest or just pecking their way up a tree for food.
Digging just the right nesting hole.
“How is it looking from down there?”
All in a Day’s Work
Until next time
Pay attention if you see me, because I’am one handsome bird!
~Just Look~
Look up,
look down,
look around,Â
and always,
look forward,
to tomorrow.
Howard and I had fun watching these Canada Geese while camped at Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort, Alabama. Not long after the geese found a safe rousting spot and the sun dipped over the horizon, a full moon greeted us with its bright happy face to wish us sweet dreams.
Until next time…..
Just Look!
~A New Bird Book & a New Bird~
I have been looking for the book The Sibley Guide to Birds Second Edition for awhile now. Today, I finally found and purchased this lovely birding guide. I was specifically searching for the re-printed second edition.
I am very happy to add this book to my birding library. Howard kiddingly asks me, “How many bird books do you need?” I reply, “One can’t have too many!”
On February 27, 2015 I saw and photographed the little song bird in these photos. It was flitting around hunting for bugs and didn’t stay still long. At first I just assumed it was a Solitary Vireo, which I first saw in Colorado in 1986.
Tonight, while looking through my new bird book, I discovered that the Solitary Vireo as been divided into three separate species:
(1) Plumbeous
(2) Cassin’s
(3) Blue-headed
This Blue-headed Vireo has been added to my Birding Life List at number 385.
Until next time…
Sing your heart out!
