Find the birds
How many birds do you see in the picture?
Ducks enjoying an icy river
Went for a drive today. Here’s what we saw.
These fine feathered friends of ours were certainly enjoying their afternoon romping in the river. Hop on the ice, jump in the water, swim a bit, hop back on the ice, repeat, repeat again. Ducks have a fine life.
A nice pair of mushrooms
Sometimes Nature shows us that things can be better in two’s.
Remembering summer warmth
Let’s take a break from the cold and snow and remember how nice summertime is with flowers and bugs and warm temperatures.
Bunny prints
We had a bunny cross the yard yesterday
A couple of squirrels
It is a very cold day, highs only in the mid teens. These two squirrels were “frozen” in place for several minutes on the trunk of this maple tree. There were no predators visible from our back door, however these guys seemed to be in the classic “Don’t move or that thing will catch and eat us!”
Geese enjoying the river
It was a nice day, partly cloudy in the 40’s. A good day to enjoy the river.
Birds we saw back in May 2021
It’s still pretty cold here in Indiana. Let us reminisce about our backyard birdwatching last spring.
Red-Headed Woodpecker
Pair of Grosbeaks
Flicker enjoying suet
Pair of Cowbirds
Chipping Sparrow
The short video is of a female Pileated Woodpecker. We did have a pair show up several times during May and June. This is when they are feeding their young in the nest. We named them “Woody” and “Wilma”.
