Pics!

Just like the good old days...



Yellow bellied sapsucker

During my walk I heard a squawk and looked for the birdie. What I saw looked a lot like a hairy woodpecker, but that squawk was all wrong, so I started snapping pics. They confirmed my suspicion-- yellow bellied sapsucker! (Yes, there really is a bird called that, and here he is.)

bluebird on Green Street

On the way home I saw a flash of blue, and stopped for more pics. More and more bluebirds are staying north for the winter.

This was actually my first shot of the day. I love the misty winter morning light.
