It’s rainy and cloudy out today. I had the window open while working in the office. I kept hearing a Red-bellied Woodpecker screaming outside. I looked and looked and finally found him in a tree nearby. Luckily I had my camera near by with the big lens already on. I snapped a few pictures and was able to get this one. It’s #12 for the year!
#12 Red-bellied Woodpecker
I didn’t finish the year with many birds in 2019. I only photographed 28 birds. That’s one of my lowest counts. Last year was a busy year with things going on. This year I’m determined to get out there and get lots of bird pictures.
I started today with a new count and photographed two birds to start.
#2 Red-bellied Woodpecker
#1 Mourning Dove
Each year I start my bird count over. In 2014 I photographed 58 birds. I hope to improve that number in 2015. Today we went on our first bird watching walk in 2015 and saw 7 birds!
Here they are:
#1 Pileated Woodpecker
#2 Red Bellied Woodpecker
#3 Cooper’s Hawk
#4 Hairy Woodpecker
#5 Cardinal
#6 Northern Flicker
#7 American Robin
With a new year comes a new bird count. I start over each year counting the birds I photographed each year. In 2012 I photographed 33 birds. In 2013 I photographed 59 birds. I hope this year I photograph many more new birds. I started out yesterday with a hike with Warren and I saw a good handful of birds but only got three decent photos of birds. So the count begins.
Bird #1 American Robin
Bird #2 Red Bellied Woodpecker
Bird #3 Carolina Chickadee
We went to a different park today and I was able to find four more birds I haven’t photographed in 2013. Here are the birds I photographed today:
Bird #18 Northern Flicker
Bird #17 Red-bellied Woodpecker
Bird #16 White-breasted Nut Hatch
Bird #15 Carolina Chickadee
