Flaming Geyser State Park through my favorite back-door entrance. Three pileated woodpeckers and dozens of cedar waxwings were the highlights of my morning walk.
And a Northern Flicker too? Such splendid birds in such exquisite surrounds. You did a great job making them look good. Now they can use these photos to submit to their favourite bird magazines, ha ha.
Haha … thanks, Crystal. I often take waaay too many photos to find the perfect one. I may venture back here again soon to see who else might be hanging around!
Oh yes, I just love them. Thank you! I’ve always struggled to get good shots of them, but these two were a delight! I’ve seen them at this location before but not this close.
I was thinking that, Nancy. They all contrived to do such perfect scenic poses: the grey tree with blue sky, the red berries, the pear. I mean, come on, they were all vying to be Bird of the Month I think. 🙂

Aren’t those pileated woodpeckers impressive? Great pictures of them, Bonnie. Love the waxwings too.

Bird and pear, bird and berry, bird and artsy tree! Wowza!
Oh yes, that tree was fabulous. Easily the best captures I’ve ever been lucky enough to get of pileated woodpeckers!
They even arranged for a blue sky backdrop to show off their colors! Nice work. I’d say every day is a bird day for you!
I think you might be right! Another lovely morning and not a soul around. Perfect.
