so we did another walk over at Harrison Bay. Water is definitely creeping up, ever so slowly.
The numbers of American Robins continue....but what was really noticeable were the number of Northern flicker.
they seemed to be everywhere.
another here....
another member of the woodpecker family....
were a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers. This one being the male (you can just make out the red 'mustache' markings....
and this, the female....
One of the pileated was on the left tree and the other on the 2nd from right. There were also Tree Swallows flying about these trees which show the importance of leaving damaged trees alone as they are needed for the numerous species of cavity dwelling birds.
Another White-crowned Sparrow was spotted, bringing the total seen to 2....
a number of Song Sparrow...
a sunning Spotted Towhee.....
and this had to be a mating ritual with this European Starling presenting nesting materials with much fluttering of it's wings.
