Is there anything cuter than an immature Red-Headed Woodpecker? They don't even have the red on their head yet!

Up until this year, I've only had Red Canna Lilies. This is my first orange one!

A Great Blue Heron on the lake. He always flies off when I come down to the dock to sit.
I was so excited on Monday to see this bird. I saw two birds flying around the tree on the peninsula on the lake. Through my binoculars I saw an Eastern Kingbird, which are very territorial, and the other bird was a… wait, what?! An Eastern Meadowlark?! Eastern Meadowlarks like grasses and fields, so why was he in a tree on the lake? I have no idea but, boy, was I excited to see him! He is a new yard bird for me (yay!!) so I was so excited to have had him visit!!
After watching these two for awhile and the Eastern Meadowlark flew off, I watched the Eastern Kingbird literally hover over the water, wings fluttering but it not moving, suspended in the air, looking for bugs.

It's the beginning of August but I feel like a lot of the trees are starting to change already. It's so strange.

Great pic of the juvenile woodpecker. Woodpeckers always seem to know when they are being watched - and move to the other side of the tree where I couldn't see them. I once got to watch one on a walk flying from tree to tree ahead of me.
