AHHHHHH

good morning Admiral One of the first Red Admiral's of the year. We saw several in one day, April 18th. Crazy they can handle the cold temps of Spring...and good thing the giant butterbur likes the cold ground too. Nature is cool

flying high This plane was cool to watch as it crossed my view....it was high enough that it was silent, and the contrails swirled like it was flying through liquid.   planes are cool

Red-headed wood chipper The pileated woodpeckers have been busy in the woods the past month. I mainly hear them but occasionally they come close for a visit and picture or two. This one hung out for a bit, really checking out the bluejay tree from last year. I love seeing them, they are like flying pre-historic birds with a bright red head....really cool to see and hear!! Nature is cool

Hey you, get off of my branch!

I knew there was a nut down here!

Nature is cool.....and it is really cool today!

Waiting.....This one was waiting, kinda patiently, for its turn at a feeder.  Ever now and then it would lean down and give "the look" to someone else to move on.  I love the color on these....looks really good with all the fresh snow!Nature is cool!

That Monday morning look......or maybe they saw the forecast for the week and are wishing they had a warm getaway(lots of snow on the way)

Breakfast -- it is the most important meal of the day! I'm hoping this is one of the bluejays from last year...I think there were 2 pairs yesterday that stopped in for a few peanuts.   Nature is cool

just hanging out

Curiosity I think this one was just as curious about me as I was about him/her! Pretty sure they were jealous I had a camera and able to take 100's of blurry bird pics...

Nature is cool

Good morning Yesterday we had several new visitors to the yard. We think this is a Common Redpoll. There were quite a few around most of the afternoon.....really cool looking bird, don't remember seeing them before but glad they are here now. Nature is cool
