This post is a collection of recent sightings in Wildewood.
As I headed out for a walk this morning, Pat told me about the Barred Owl swooping over her to land on Nadia's courtyard wall. This week. A little later on the walk, Michael said he woke his wife to listen with him to two Barred Owls caterwauling in Springlakes.
Daily I see warblers in the Laurel Oak canopy behind our place.
An early morning sunrise on a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. A male.
And a female.
In the same tree.
A Wood Stork and an American Fish Crow sharing a Norway Pine treetop. I knew it was a Fish Crow by its call.
A Red-Shouldered Hawk calling and calling. Tom was walking home from laps at the pool and heard it. I checked, and here hawk is:
Calling to who? I found them both here. Looks like it's find a mate season.
On Thanksgiving day, Marc Holtsberg sent this photo - an American Bald Eagle, taken in our neighborhood.
And, a few days ago, he photographed a juvenile American Bald Eagle in the Springlakes area off of Wildewood Drive.
An Orchid Bee - a living jewel!
On the big pond, a lot of Wood Storks following the rules. Looks like that Great Blue Heron has a mind of its own as it heads to the pond.
