Love is in the air. The House Finch couple... On Sunday afternoon church at one of the Amish families.

We took a ride to the Union City, Penna Dam to try to find the eagle nest there. We were lucky, but not able to see the 2 chicks. The area all around the nest is posted, and you can't get very close. Some other folks there with big lenses were getting good pictures.




Later I saw this big woodpecker tree. I wish I could have seen the birds that made these holes.

This is the area around the Dam. It's a beautiful area.

Back at home Mary, look what I found out in our back yard. Never saw him before. I had put corn out for the birds, and this Fox squirrel found it. This shot was through the window, and not too clear. I really hope Azrael doesn't find out.

Yesterday afternoon it was just beautiful, and we sat down by the creek for a while. Suddenly this female Common Merganser swam toward us. In this shot she has a fish in her mouth.


I was able to get a bit closer.
Then I heard 2 Northern Flickers up in the tree. I usually see them on the ground looking for ants.
Another beautiful day Saturday. Who knows where we'll go. Have a good day. Get out there and take some pictures.
