Back in the woods

Ric Grupe

No not golf shots! :rofl

I guess this is a Downy, except this coloration is a little odd to me...perhaps a juvenile. :dunno



The only distance Bluebirds will allow. :cry



What would an outing be without the rare Dove on a wire!



...and of course the most lovely of all.:lust

Good shots!

I would have guessed the bird in the first shot was a lesser spotted woody, but those don't live where do you do, right? That species of woodpeckers live in Europe and Asian palearctic.

Some nice captures Ric! If I could see more of the back of the woodpecker I could help you with the id!

Call me strange, but I like the perched turkey vulture.

Thanks, Ben.

I find myself making excuses for not going out...yard-work, heat, bugs...etc. But I always enjoy myself when I do...yes, I am weird!
