I had a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers going to town on a log in the wood behind my house yesterday. I see them often, but rarely together and usually at long range. I snuck to about 70 feet from this pair.
Wonderful shots! Nice work and they may be back, that log looks like an insect cafeteria.

Good catch, topcat! The bottom line is we will have more terns. I have been watching terns on our bay for over 60 years and I still find ID as difficult as gulls. We get Forster's in the greatest numbers but also several others including Royals and visitors from both the north and south. And yes, the bay area seems to be picking up more year-rounders from several species.

The chief got it right, they eat anything they can get their big hairy feet on! They would be welcome in most or our back yards. Good catch Arizona Art.

Well, Twain's advice is still a work in progress for me.

Very nice image
Thank you, Jim. I appreciate your visit. I was being playful and a bit anthropomorphic with this post, but it is unusual in the northern Sacramento valley to see a group of ducks that does not include a N Pintail.
I enjoy your contributions to this section.

Thank you. I was away for a couple of weeks, but I went there today. I found a bunch of terns. I think that they are Foresters Terns.
I think that there are some terns that stay here year round.
I have to get the winter birds while they are here. I guess that they will be leaving soon. I don't know when they leave because every day is different, yo never know what birds are going to be there.
I wish that I found this a while ago.

This is shore bird time around the bay, and you are correct about year rounders.

Rarely do I sit still long enough in the field to make significant observations. I spotted a pair of Swainson Hawks, but then was pleasantly blessed to observe a courtship and mating right before my eyes! I was shocked to see this sequence of events...
I like to add some humor to most of my images, so hopefully, it will be received accordingly... thanks
