It Is Red

Most of my photos of a Red-bellied Woodpecker don't show the red-belly. This one is great.

Red-bellied Action

I didn't et a perfect focus but this Red-bellied Woodpecker gave me a lot of time to take a picture. I guess I just missed a perfect shot. What a beautiful bird.

Woodpeckers And Finch Duo

I bet you didn't see the American Goldfinch. Do you she him? The Red-bellied Woodpecker is much larger and his colors stand out. We put out some bird food and these two came for pictures.

Colors .. or Evil Squirrel?

I love this photo. Teresa took this photo of this Red-bellied Woodpecker at Garbry Big Woods Reserve. You may not see much of the bird, but it's the whole photo that makes this a great photo.

I have to share another story from earlier this week. Early one morning this week while driving to the gym I notidced a odd grinding noise. I had not heard it the day earlier and had no idea what it was. I thought it was coming from the back of the car. When I got to the gym I tried to see if there was something dragging under the car but it was too dark to see anything. After my workout I drove home but when I tried again to look under the car it was just too dark to see anything. After sunrise we drove to Big Woods Reserve to feed / photograph the birds. Well, it was still making the same noise. Now that it was light enough I looked under the hood and under the car (in the parking lot now). I could not see anything. Teresa was sure it was coming from the front of the car .. I was less sure. I turned the wheels to the left so we could look again .. I could not see anything. Then Teresa saw this:

Can you see the walnut? It was crazy .. I am sure this is the work of an evil squirrel.
