Chasing an Eagle in the rain.

What does a woodpecker do with

an acorn ? I don't think it can

swallow the acorn. So the woodpecker

puts the acorn in a hole or crack in

a dead tree. Go figure.

Woodpeckers.

This is a Red Headed Woodpecker.

Imagine that.

Two male Red Headed Woodpeckers.

They are sculpting this tree.

This is not a Red Headed Wood Pecker.

It is a Red bellied Wood Pecker.

Say what ??

Amaryllis

Any of several bulbous plants of the genus

Hippeastrum. Also called "Belladonna Lilly",

or naked lady.

I don't know about all that termonology,

but they sure are beautiful.

Martin Sillhouetts.

These were taken to show off the

graceful lines of nature.

Most of you know I love silhouetts.

Above is a Great Blue Heron.

Below is a Cormmorant.

Above and below Cormorants,

sometimes called water turkeys,

or snake birds because of their

long necks.

The bird below, I believe is an Eagle.

This above picture, two cormmorant

gather to spot fish. This particular tree

is usualy covered with commorants at

certain times of the day however

not this day. Ugly as they are they

do make a graceful silhouette.

New Birth, Spring.

I've made a few new discoveries at

Martins farm. It is not a real farm but

I call it that for lack of a better term. It

is a friends privet owned 400 acres of

wild life of all kinds. It is all new to me so I

am seeing new things all the time. It is

quite an experience trying to get pictures.

But a great experience to sum it up.

Above and below, Two owls, way up in the

nose bleed section of a tree. One of them

doesn't mind sticking it's head up, the other

just sort of lays there, unfazed by my truck

and camera. I will try to monitor them from

time to time so as not to disturb the parents.

Below is an "Ibis". Shows what I know, I thought

it was a Stork of some kind.

Below is my favorite, Malard ducklings.

The mother was right there with them

protecting them.

There are many preditators around these

little fellows. Osprey, hawks, buzzards,

a pair of eagles, and aligators. I hope they

all survive.

A "Persons" best friend's.

Above and below, I took this picture through

the windshield of the car. It was quite chilly,

and this fellow was trying to get comfortable

as well as warm.

Below is Mia, Mia is my cousin Catherine

who lives in Atlanta, baby. 

Below is Atina. Atina and Mia are cousins,

they play very well together. When Atina 

plays; stand back.. 

Below is Savannah. My sister's who lives in

Brookfield Wisconsin. They like to walk 

together. 

Below is Roxie. A well cared for Bassett

Hound that is loved by my grandson Henry.  

Below you see Roxie in her heated

apartment. The temperature is

monitored from inside her caregivers

home. A dogs life isn't so bad.
