I finally got a usable photo of a Winter Wren(Troglodytes hiemalis)! It came out of a bush to yell at us while we stood nearby looking out on the lake for Loons!

This young Canada Goose(Branta canadensis) stretched its wings and the early morning sun caught it just right!

No bird today, instead I have an adorable Eastern Chipmunk eating what I believe to be crabapple of some variety.

Today for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OddAngles, I present the Black-and-white Warbler! These wood warblers move more like nuthatches than other warblers, often flipping upside down and crawling along tree trunks in search of food!

It's harvest season in Ohio, the weather is nice, the leaves colorful, and the wildlife active! Another phone quick pic while I walk a local trail!

I've been laid up a bit due to a few repetitive back injuries, so I haven't been able to get out much recently. So have a photo from last year of a Northern Shoveler(Spatula clypeata)!

Here's a great example of the sexual dimorphism of Eastern Bluebirds(Sialia sialis). The drab gray-blue female with the nesting material on the left, and the bright blue and orange male on the right.

Red-bellied woodpeckers(Melanerpes carolinus) while common, are always an entertaining bird to photograph. They are active, territorial, and striking.

Today I have a rarity in my locale, a Black-bellied Whistling Duck(Dendrocygna autumnalis)! It was tucked in with some Canada geese and their goslings.

I'm pretty sure these soldiers were hand picked. This memo is floating around.

This was what was sent out to Ft Bragg Command from what I understand.

These American Goldfinch(Spinus tristis) males were clashing high above the ground!

This Whote-eyed Vireo(Vireo griseus) photo is a few years old, but something I re-edited recently with better tools.

This Red-headed woodpecker(Melanerpes erythrocephalus) gave us an amazing look at its beautiful plumage!

Tried some new editing techniques, and really loved this Northern Parula(Setophaga americana) photo from Magee Marsh.

Cleared out the fire pit, and started burning some brush that has built up over the last couple years.
