Great Blue Heron Fishing

Baby Red Bellied Woodpecker

The baby Red Bellied Woodpecker is starting to get some red feathers on his head. He waited on the tree while his mother flew back and forth with some suet.

Great Blue Heron

We took our walk early this morning and surprised a great blue heron. He flew off after a few seconds but we were able to get this photo. We're posting this for Lana, who told us she loves herons.

Everyone needs to rest sometimes

It's been too hot and everyone is sleepy. We caught the mallards taking a midday nap in our yard. George, our cat, likes to sleep when it's hot and sunny (or when it's cold and rainy). Mike caught this squirrel resting peacefully, blissfully unaware of Chris' feelings for his species.
