Then later that day we saw this Pileated Woodpecker. These are one of the largest woodpeckers and they have a huge range of loud, distinctive calls. They seem to love hanging around our property. We hear them pretty often.
And last but not least - the regal Blue Heron. I think this guy likes to hang around our pond because the water is so clear. It makes his fishing chores that much easier I suppose!
Your pictures of wildlife are lovely. The only wildlife we see in our backyard is this massive gopher. He's huge and lives under our neighbor's shed. :)

ReplyDeleteWow, I love the pics!! Years ago, a great friend of mine gave me Christmas cards that were photographs of a Bluejay and Red bird that he had taken. Those wre my favorite cards.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do get a lot of wildlife in your area and yard...Talk about lucky! Enjoy the view for me, please...
ReplyDeleteWOW I had never heard of the Kingfisher. It is very nice!
ReplyDeleteOnce in awhile I see a deer in my town or a thrasher. But other than that I see crows. ugh
Seeing your pictures are wonderful! Thanks for sharing!! I look forward to seeing more from you!
Thanks for sharing your photos. I live in Michigan, and when I visit "up north" in Gaylord, we have all those birds around. I don't get up there as often as I want to, and it was great starting the day with 'old friends'
