Yes, another Red-bellied Woodpecker. We are at the time of year when we see less variety. They are still beautiful.

We were hiking along the Great Miami River at Farrington Reserve when I saw a large bird fl;uy by just on the other side of the treeline. I thought it may be an eagle but I could not get a good view before it was out of sight. We walked a little further and as we approached the bridge over the river I saw this Bald Eagle. A few seconds later a second eagle flew out of the tree below this one. The pair both flew off. I am a bit of a raptor nerd.

What a surprise. Teresa was first to see her .. she was in a tree about 75 to 100 yards north of where we were hiking. We were at Garbry Big Woods Reserve taking a short hike on a busy day. Until I got a good zoom and could look at the photo I was not sure what we were looking at. Yes, it is a Osprey.
I have photographed an Osprey at Big Woods once before but that was a few years ago.
We tried to get closer but she flew away. Her wingspan was amazing. What an amazing sight.

This is not a great photo. I am fairly certain that his is a Merlin. It was so far away and when I cropped it, the resolution is not great.
I looked at merlin photos on the web. I found several where position was the same as in this photo. It sure looks like a merlin. If you have other thoughts, let me know.

Boy, that look .. I felt like She was sizing me up for lunch. I love watchng large birds of prey. This Red-tailed Hawk was intense and gave me extra time to capture a good photo.
