I was cooking supper on the BBQ at the camper when this Pileated Woodpecker decided to pay me a visit. I grabbed my camera and got lost taking photos... and almost burned supper! lol

For those not aware, the Pileated is Canada's largest woodpecker... and is about the size of a crow.

Fixed up these two photos from those I posted while at camp a few weeks back.

The first is an American Three-toed Woodpecker, cropped & cleaned up... and the other showcases the incredible camouflage adaptation of the Brown Creeper, which essentially disappears against the bark of the Spruce Tree it was climbing.

Added an American 3-toed woodpecker to my life list today! Also had a few Brown Creepers hanging around camp. 🙂

From the fall 2023 migration at Oak Hammock, I caught one Canada Goose doing his impression of a float plane landing, and another goose seemingly "checking out" his swimming partner's butt (I'm assuming it's a him). 🤣

While checking out the Powerview-Pine Falls damn last summer, we got to watch some expert fish catchers (American White Pelicans) at the base of the damn.

From last spring, about 3 years ago we started getting a regular visit from a pair of Mallard Ducks to our pool, or at least to the winter cover on our pool.

Winter always gives me an opportunity to spend time going back thru my older photos to see what I've missed, or might be able to rescue. This group of photos are birds from our many tropical trips south.

Identification as follows:

1. American Kestrel (Cuban)
2. Yucatan Jay
3. Jamaican Blackbird
4. Blue-footed B***y
5. Red-vented Bulbul
6. Hispaniolan Mango (hummingbird)
7. Common Myna

Please point out any errors above. :)

Just before Christmas, we had a number of Blue Jays & Crows seemingly working together to do... something. That something turned out to be an uninvited guest in our Spruce tree... a Great-horned Owl.
