Red-bellied woodpecker photographed 3/2/11 in Clifton. He often keeps watch over the food from a nearby telephone pole and yells when people go near the suet tree.

I’m just a retired old timer who got lucky and took these pictures from my back room of my home in Belleville, N.J. I’m guessing it’s a Cooper’s Hawk.

Small suet to go, please

It's a beautiful afternoon, although still too chilly for our taste. We were just back from a short walk and saw this red-bellied woodpecker grabbing a meal to go. Usually we get pictures of them staying still, so we thought we'd post an action shot for a change.

Return of the Beaver

 

Spring must be here. The man-made dam has not yet been fixed, so Lake Nelson is still a stream. This morning we spotted the beaver swimming up the stream. Perhaps he'll make a dam so we can enjoy the lake again.
