Thoughts Of My Mom and A Downy Woodpecker
Yesterday, my window was open. It was a rainy, dreary day, and I found myself inexplicably feeling down. I heard the distinctive calls of a Downy Woodpecker.

This morning, I'm sharing a photo of a White-breasted Nuthatch taken in June from my friend Steve Creek's wonderfully bird-filled yard in Arkansas.
I thought this young male Downy Woodpecker, with bits of suet on his bill, was a striking bird, and that's why I decided to share this photo today.
I was thrilled to take scores of Carolina Chickadee images when I was in Arkansas, from the comfort of my friend Steve Creek's deck while I visited with him.
I'm sharing just a few photos of female House Finches this morning that I took while I was visiting my friend, Steve Creek, in Arkansas last month.
I photographed this young Red-bellied Woodpecker last month in Arkansas. I was visiting my dear friend and fellow photographer, Steve Creek.
I was thrilled to observe and photograph this charming young Tufted Titmouse a few days ago. I was able to see and hear Tufted Titmice in both Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Two days ago I found a Cicada exuvia or exoskeleton attached to a driftwood suet feeder. The cicada had emerged sometime during the night to begin its life anew.
When I photographed this immature Downy Woodpecker yesterday in my friend Steve's yard I didn't think I'd get two photos with its tongue sticking out. But I did!
This morning, I'm sharing a few White-breasted Nuthatch images that I took yesterday in my friend Steve's birdy yard, before it got too hot to be outdoors.

I've photographed plenty of Black-capped Chickadees out west but it was about time to add a Carolina Chickadee gallery to my website. Now I have.
For some people, a Blue Jay portrait might be a common image to capture, but for me, it's not common at all. This particular one was taken in Arkansas, not Utah.
