Mountain Chickadee

This cute little Mountain Chickadee was fun to watch but nearly impossible to photograph, he was so busy.

Mallard (male)

We also saw some Mallards. They came all the way across the lake to see if we had any food.

Hairy Woodpecker (female)

Today we went on a nature walk along the Silver Lake Interpretive Trail at Brighton. We saw this Hairy Woodpecker busily knocking on a stump, foraging for insects. -Amy

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Woodpecker.

Woodpecker who?

There's a woodpecker knocking on your door!

Barn Swallow

My friend Hope told me about some Barn Swallows that had built their mud nest above her porch. So we went over to get some pictures and peek in the nest. There were four eggs inside!
