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.

A black and white landscape photo of a white goose with black wingtips. The black on the wingtips covers about a quarter of the wing. Otherwise, the goose is pure white. The goose is flying towards the left with its wings fully outstretched as though it were gliding. The goose appears to be looking at the camera. The eyeball is black.

#Birds #Nature #BirdPhotography #Wildlife #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a duck. The colorful duck faces toward the right and fills most of the frame. It has green feathers with iridescent colors of yellows, blues, and reds on top of its head. These feathers sweep back into a "duck tail". Its lower head is black with white thin line highlights. There's a red eye. The chest is a bronze color with light tan spots. The back is black with more iridescent colors. There's white highlights on the back as well. The side is a brown color with very fine white and black lines. The belly is a light tan color. The duck stands on a rock that is in water. The duck is scrunched down and relaxed.

A wide aspect ratio photograph of two woodpeckers sitting a small distance from each other, on different branches of the same birch tree and facing away from each other. The trunk of the birch is towards the right edge of the photo and a branch of another tree is right next to it to the left. The birds sit in shadow, but the blurry forest background, with out of focus trees further back, is bathing in golden light.

#Raptor overhead! This bird of prey (I am uncertain of the exact #species) was flying above and in front of me as I walked the section of the path alongside Bawsey Drain between Columbia Way and Lynnsport in North Lynn this afternoon.
#photography #nature #birds #ornithology #raptors
A raptor, the species of which I am unsure, flies above North Lynn. It is a fairly large bird (definitely larger than even the biggest gulls) with a mottled brown body, a vicious looking beak, wings fully extended and a broad tail, which would give it great control in flight, enabling it to hover for extended periods if necessary.

#Birds #Wildlife #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of three birds sitting on a large round wood fence post. The birds are small and very plump and round. They are gray on the chest with bronze colored wings. Their bellies are checkered with bronze and white. Their heads are black with white lines under their chins and over the top of their heads. Each has a long upright tassel that sticks out in front of their face. Two are pointed toward the right and the one on the left has its back to the camera but is looking over its right shoulder.

I swear I am giving the magpies plenty of food, but apparently they want everything I put out in my garden.

Square photo of a winter garden. In the foreground is a small tree with two feeding stations hanging from thin branches only suitable to hold small birds. One is a small red house with seeds, the other is a metal spiral filled with suet cakes. The main attraction in this photo is an Eurasian magpie caught in flight, it's wings spread out, as it tries to get a nibble from one of the suet cakes.

First-off, sorry to anyone seeing this twice for no good reason. There was a reason, a software-related one, but not necessarily good. I lost a few days of posts due to a backup.

Anyhoo, here's the trip to Old Hollow Lake and Salem Lake last week. Man, do I wish I had the original draft for this post so I didn't have to write this out again lol.

I walked 1/3 of the 7 mile hike before my leg started hating me again... but as we all know, going 1/3 in means I had to turn around and take it all back. So, yeah, stubborn me never learns his lesson. I have taken a resolution to completing the 7 mile hike of Salem Lake at some point, but I'll have to return much later, much more prepared and with my leg actually healed.

Anyway, here's the four bests I chose from this trip but like I said when I posted this originally, it was between a few, so, others may trickle in.

we get a lot of early morning visitors to the top or pine tree opposite us, its a big tree but living on the hill means we are almost level with the very top.
Here's a Flicker and a Red-shouldered Hawk.
The Flicker seems to be eyeing the midges above it.

🦩Did you know? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance—and it’s easy to see why! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go.

There are six species of flamingo worldwide. They are highly social creatures and often gather in large numbers. The largest flamingo colony in the world can be found in Tanzania, where more than 2 million birds have been observed at one time.
