These birds are primarily from 2 locations: Beave Lake Bird Sanctuary in Asheville, North Carolina and Big Creek Greenway in Alpharetta, Georgia.
We stopped in Asheville to visit a friend but made our first, early morning stop, at Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary. It’s a neat little wetland with a boardwalk meandering through it. We enjoyed it a lot.
The Big Creek Greenway is a 10 mile paved trail along Big Creek. Great place to walk; plenty of birds and deer.

A couple of weeks ago, we visited the Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary in Asheville, North Carolina. It was a lovely place with a board walk that meandered through a wetland. While there, a Great Blue Heron gave us the opportunity to watch it hunt and capture breakfast. I created a time lapse so I could share it with you.

This past week I walked in the forests along the Chattahoochee River. Autumn colors were just starting to appear. The sun was shining allowing beautiful reflections to appear. Leaf color is a prime feature of autumn but its more than just the leaves on the trees. I was blessed to have nature share with me the abstracts she painted in the river.

Since moving to Georgia, we’ve been visited by a variety of woodpeckers. We had a variety in California also but the only one in common is the Downy Woodpecker.
Though I’ve seen the Yellow-bellied Woodpecker here, I had to use an older picture from Florida because the one I got here wasn’t so good. Note the rings of holes on the tree trunk. Sapsuckers peck in rings around the tree trunk. If you see those rings, you know a Sapsucker has visited it.
The male and female Pileated Woodpecker looks almost identical but the male has a red patch above its beak.
The Downy and Hairy woodpeckers look nearly identical except that the Hairy is considerably larger and its beak is nearly as long as its head. The males of both species have a red patch on the back of their head.

To me, few birds are as handsome as the bright red male Northern Cardinal. The female whose coloration is not so bright and bold, is quite beautiful also. Recently, I was able to watch and photograph a juvenile. I watched as the male fed the young one. I also found a Cardinal that was molting. My 9-year-old granddaughter said it looked like it was having a bad hair day. I told her that she was on the right track and explained what molting is all about.

The past couple of weeks are backyard feeder has been flooded with juvenile Eastern Bluebirds. I have counted as many as 6 at one time. So, I thought it might be a good time to post some “family” pictures. I don’t know which adults parented which juveniles, but you get the idea.

Last week, I visited Big Trees Forest Preserve in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It’s a suburb of Atlanta. It has several short trails that are easy to walk. I went specifically to photograph the light penetrating through the deciduous forest in the early morning. It was a fun hike.
By the way, compared to Calaveras Big Trees State Park in California, the big trees here look like match sticks. But they are quite beautiful none the less.
