Woodpeckers

While sitting outside this morning, I heard four different species of woodpeckers nearby. There was a red-bellied woodpecker, a pileated woodpecker, a downy woodpecker, and the bird of the day was a northern flicker. I only saw the red-bellied and the pileated. I was only able to get decent photos of the red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), seen here in a nearby oak tree with two out-of-focus pigeons in the foreground.

My gallery contains more that 700 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

#photography note (a few people asked): One of the reasons I include a flickr link to most of the photos I post here is so you can download the full res version easily (for printing, etc).

Another reason is that clarifies the CC license on most of my photos. For non-commercial straight up use, such as illustrating a personal web page, just attribute it or link to the flickr page; no need to ask or wait for permission (though it's always nice to let me know).

Other use? Check with me first.

Good morning, friends. 🌺🌺🌺

17 September 2024

I give regularly to certain charities and causes. The problem is I'm inundated with junk mail because of that. Another source of junk mail are organizations that I belong to who also insist on sending me a monthly magazine. All of this stuff goes straight into my shredder, unless the envelope contents are too bulky forcing be to open it before shredding the contents. The magazines, well I shred my name and address and throw the magazine away. Needless to say, it is annoying. My shredded paper bin is filling up faster every day. Don't get me started on junk email, I spend time every day deleting unsolicited email, I don't bother to read it.

I may have posted it before but I love the chaos of this picture so I’m posting it again.

Close to 100 000 seabirds breed on this island, amongst them thousands of common murres, and when an eagle is spotted the majority of them abandon the cliff.

Lately the murres are not producing much chicks here, and it’s suspected that the increasingly high amount of time they spend away from the nest fleeing predators is a contributing factor.

Silent Watcher

This turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) watched from a dead tree as we walked by this morning.

"The word vulture likely comes from the Latin vellere, which means to pluck or tear. Its scientific name, Cathartes aura, is far more pleasant. It means either “golden purifier” or “purifying breeze.”" - allaboutbirds.org
