I finally was able to photograph my first red headed woodpecker while hiking up in the woods, love the sounds these beautiful birds make.
The red-headed woodpecker is a small or medium-sized woodpecker from temperate North America. Their breeding habitat is open country across southern Canada and the eastern-central United States
Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) is an incredibly striking bird: adults have brilliant crimson head, black back, large white wing patches, and white belly. These large patches of solid color are unlike other woodpeckers with more intricate patterns. Immatures have brownish heads.
Spring migration is FINALLY starting! Last weekend I went to a spot in Virginia hoping to photograph some early migrants. A gorgeous Blue-headed Vireo (Vireo solitarius) put on a nice show. The leaves had not quite come out yet, so I was able to isolate the vireo with a clean, unblemished background. It will be harder in the coming weeks to photograph the migrants due to the increasing foliage, but I am looking forward to the challenge!
This Golden-headed Cisticola has become a regular sighting in the Sneydes Rd Paddocks.
I won't have a lot of time for Flickr for the next few days. Will catch up as I can.

Black-Headed Grosbeak is a migratory bird, with nesting grounds from southwestern British Columbia, through the western half of the United States, into central Mexico. It occurs as a vagrant further south in Central America.
The grosbeak's song is a rich warble that is similar to that of an American Robin, but more fluent, faster, softer, sweeter, and mellow with rising and falling passages that make the song much longer than the robin's. The note is a sharp ik or eek. Both the male and female sing, but have different songs. Wikipedia
They sound beautiful, if you care to listen……

The giant tortoise is one of the most iconic animals in the Galapagos. El Chato reserve on the Santa Cruz island is home to hundreds of these gentle giants - the perfect place to see them in their natural habitat. It is also an interesting place birds: Darwin tree and ground finches fly between the trees, while yellow warblers add a touch of color to the scene.
Yellow-headed blackbirds are not entirely uncommon west of the Cascades but they usually stay well clear of people. For whatever reason, on this day in late April, I was able to get close. A nice treat! Apparently this was an aberration as on several days since they stay at least 50 yards away.
