Bald eagle visits my backyard June 5, 2025Birds, wildlifesusanmanzke I had the dog out at dawn today, and as we headed back to the house, we heard a loud call. When I looked up, this is what I saw. I zoomed my cellphone camera to get this video.
Pileated woodpecker June 3, 2025Birdssusanmanzke This large pileated woodpecker visited the birdfeeder today. It came for some of the peanuts I put out for the bluejays. Sorry it is in the shadows, but that was the best shot I could get without scaring it away.
Hummingbird May 22, 2025Birdssusanmanzke This sweet thing came to my feeder again this morning. There are more, but I can’t tell them apart.
