This afternoon I went for a short walk talking to my Texas friend. During the walk we heard a woodpecker. I was able to spot the bird in a tree and tried to get some pictures. I'm pretty sure it was a pileated woodpecker. It was really large and I wanted to call it a king woodpecker, but it seems pileated is the more appropriate name. It was lovely conversation and a beautiful bird and that is my happy for today.
Carrots and some beans K is trying to sprout.
The dark spot is the woodpecker.
Poor picture quality.

There is a bird flying in the distance I tried to get a picture of.

That's definitely a pileated wooodpecker, such striking birds! (pun sort of intended, lol) And your distant bird is a likely a turkey vulture, based on size and how it's soaring with wings up in a "v".
ReplyDeleteThank you, -K! I look forward to your identifications of the birds I see. <3
