We see so many Red-winged Blackbirds but when i asw this one I had to snap a picture. The colors seems brighter than normal. Maybe that is just the season, but it sure was beautiful.

The colors are a bit washed out but she was about to take off so I wanted to snap a quick photo. I always love it when we see a Great Blue Heron. I have said that before but this never gets old.

When I saw this bird I thougt it was a House Finch but I was not able to take a photo. A few minutes later I had a second chace. Now i am fairly certain it is a Purple Finch. Some info to compare the two: House Finch or Purple Finch? Here’s How to Tell Them Apart.

I guess this Tufted Titmouse was talking to a friend or rocking a tune.

Teresa captured this photo. I wanted to share it to show the size difference between a Downy Woodpecker (one of the smallest woodpeckers) and the Pileated Woodpecker.
From the audubon link:
"Excluding the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which is largely believed to be extinct, 22 woodpecker species call North America home. The Pileated is the largest living woodpecker in North America—nearly three times taller than the petite Downy Woodpecker."
They are very large .. but a cool looking bird.
