A
mystery bird landed on one peanut feeder, while a sparrow paused to
observe me and my 'lil pink box' from another. Was it a jay? -
no....so....
A
woodpecker!! A juvenile greater spotted wodpecker to be precise. You
can see its coloring better when it flew from pecking at peanut
pieces to the fat balls.
It
was still June and it was still warm and sunny - but still with
Corona restrictions banning|Liz and I from joint hike-chats. I
popped back up Swillage Lane and took another solo hike, though truth to tell I am getting fed up of my own company and will be glad when Liz and I can go hiking together again. Way up over
the fields was a bird of prey....
After
some observation, I determined it to be a red kite, based mostly on
its tail shape and color. My final shot for today's post is of
Goggles taken on my way home. This time, he was hiding...so you can
only see the neck!
I hope it becomes safe enough to relax the restrictions soon.
ReplyDeleteI love that very tall picture of the bird of prey.
me too...i'm dying to get out somewhere fun for a relaxing hike with Liz.
