Backyard Birding from my Hammock

As this year come's to an end, I can look back on the few lucid or happy moments that I've spent bird watching.

It's hard to know where to begin, but these are the photo's I found on my camera spanning from the few peaceful summer moments in my hammock to Ocean City Maryland in the fall and then the first snow upstate.

Juvenile Hairy Woodpecker

I had the privilege to see a baby Hairy Woodpecker perhaps at his first experience on a bird feeder.  






 I was happy to be in the right place at the right time.  When mother and son made their way to my backyard on my feeder.                                    

Beautiful sighting

So as the day wore on I had a few more visitors at my feeders.

Chipmunks

Cardinal

Red-Winged Blackbird

 

Northern Flicker

Somehow that warm summer day in the hammock soon became a fall day in Ocean City Maryland with my fellow birder San.  We saw many birds on the beach, it was very peaceful.  We spent the early morning hours searching for shells up and down the beach.  Always looking for that intact Conch shell which proved to be very elusive just like when San and I were looking for a Cedar Waxwing at Hoyt Farm.
