I am very bad about taking photos and never looking at them. Like terrible.

Poking around my insane library looking for last-minute additions to my presentation for tonight and I stumbled upon this cutie from March 2021- South Padre Island.

It's disgustingly cold. I'm SO READY for the solstice.

We have a lot of ash trees, and we have the emerald ash borer, so we have a lot a dead trees, and we have a lot of woodpeckers, including the very large pileated woodpecker. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast
A pileated woodpecker hangs onto a tree while he opens his wings showing the large white patch of feathers on the underside. Over the top edge of the wing, you can see his white and black head with its bright red crest and the red mustache that marks him as a male.
A male pileated woodpecker has lifted his wings, preparing to push off from the tree on which he has been hanging.
A male pileated woodpecker is airborne on his way to the feeder. His wings are almost folded against his body at this point in his flight. He looks like a red headed missile.

I've already spotted some Redwings and maybe a few Fieldfares as the weather has chilled down, I wonder how long it'll be before we see the lovely Bohemian Waxwings stripping berries from the trees? #Bird #Nature #Waxwing #Birding

A Savannah Sparrow perches atop a goldenrod plume against an intentionally blurred background of autumn green meadow grasses. The bird is a streaky, medium-sized, short-tailed sparrow with a yellow patch in front of its eye.

A white tailed deer died on our property overnight. By sunrise, a whole committee of Black Vultures had showed up for clean up detail. #nature #wildlife #birds #birding #bird #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #animals #homestead

Borbness is more than a matter of shape. It's a matter of attitude.
