Today is the first day Ive felt good in 10 days...the cold has been keeping me from sleeping well...and with all the other stuff going on, its been wearing me down. So when life gives you lemons what do you do? Take Pictures!! What else?
and I didnt have the tripod, so this short vid is kinda shakey, but you may get a kick outta it anyways..
The high pitched whistle at the end is the Great Crested , they have that disticnt Police Whistle call....
So these small creatures made my day so much brighter...hope the same happens for you!!
PEACE
Nature is certainly the best tonic to lift the spirits Sondra.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the video clip. Always fascinating watching woodpeckers hammer away on a tree; great power and strength.
Poor sparrow! I've never seen one with blood on it, hopefully it wasn't too bad of an injury. Don't get me started on focusing... my camera has been making me crazy lately. Liked the video- woodpeckers are rad.
ReplyDeleteShooting can take one miles away from uncomfortable thoughts, good idea Sondra! The video is great, you could never capture the strength of those hits and the "neck movements" in a photo. :-)
ReplyDeleteBirds are guaranteed to cheer you up Sondra, well they do me....although with the amount of out of focus photographs I take I do sometimes wonder why I bother and that makes me feel down!!! :-(
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the little injured one, I hope it heals.
Loved that piece of video, it's a wonder they don't get dizzy with all that head banging ;-)
Still sending lots of positive and peaceful thoughts your way Sondra!
You take better pictures when you're sick than I do when I feel tip-top. They brightened my day! Take care, keep on gettin' better.
ReplyDeleteGlad the wee critters cheered you up. I know how you've been feeling (having just recovered myself) and a bit of cheering was definitely on the "need" list.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds and I enjoyed your post. I do hope you are feeling better now. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like your attitude and "fix".
ReplyDeleteGee...I am so jealous of you having Pileated Woodpeckers living nearby. It was neat to see him working that tree.
BTW...I truly enjoyed your book!:)
Thanks Jean, Im so glad you enjoyed it!! I wish I could get a main stream publisher to take it on!
