Nut Run at Altitude

Here is a red-bellied woodpecker (scientific name) who streaked by pretty fast. She has a peanut or almond that she found in my bird feeder. Those birds dig around until they find the best stuff.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"A female red‑bellied woodpecker flashes across the frame in mid‑flight, her wings stretched wide in a powerful, sweeping motion. You see her from behind and slightly below, as if you’re standing on the ground watching her surge past overhead. Her wings form a graceful arc, each feather sharply defined — the upper surfaces patterned in bold black and white bars that look almost like hand‑painted strokes.

Her body is pale and warm‑toned, and the soft red blush on the back of her head marks her as a female. Tucked tightly in her beak is a small prize — a peanut or almond — gripped firmly as she carries it away. The nut is tiny compared to her, but she holds it with purpose, like a determined courier on a mission.

Her tail feathers flare slightly behind her, adding to the sense of speed and lift. The background is a smooth, muted sky, giving the impression of open air and effortless motion. The whole scene feels quick, bright, and alive — a moment of wild energy frozen in mid‑flight, a woodpecker caught in the act of doing exactly what woodpeckers do: working, flying, and stealing snacks with style." - Microsoft Copilot

Spotted another Blue Rock Thrush on September 21, 2026, at a beach near Wenling Metro Station.

A Blue Rock Thrush is captured mid-flight against a backdrop of crashing waves at the beach. The bird is taking off from a rock near the shoreline. The water is turbulent with white foam from the breaking waves, creating a sense of movement and wildness.

Cardinal and a Flower

I sat outside watching birds this morning. First came the brown headed cowbirds, then the house finches, finally the northern cardinals. Each group would stay awhile and leave. Individual birds like chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers come to the feeders for seconds, get what they want and leave.

This is a female northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), a young bird I think, who was accommodating enough to pose by flowers of a crepe myrtle tree.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Good morning. 🦆🦆🦆

26 September 2026

I think I’m just not doing anything today. It feels like a not‑do‑anything day. Honestly, I’m tempted to stop typing mid‑sentence. Maybe it’s just a morning thing — I haven’t even finished my first cup of coffee, and I keep closing my eyes like I’m taking micro‑naps between thoughts.

When I got up, I went to take my morning meds and noticed the Saturday chamber in my pill organizer was empty — uh oh. My first thought was that I’d taken a day out of order, but when I checked the rest, every chamber was empty. A mystery. I sorted out what I needed for this morning and took care of it, but I still don’t know what happened. Did I forget to fill the organizer last Saturday? Seems unlikely; I can still count to seven. Did I double‑dose one morning? Also unlikely — my routine is pretty solid. Honestly, it’s far more likely I’d forget to take them at all than take them twice. Oh well. Chalk it up as one of the world’s great unsolved mysteries.

Yesterday my wife and I trekked a couple of hours into Texas to Nacogdoches. VA sent me there for labs because, thanks to the grand contractors‑contracting‑other‑contractors circus they’ve got going, I couldn’t just go to the clinic here in town. The whole day turned into a cluster of ducks. I spent nearly three hours trying to get labs done because they didn’t have my order, and I eventually had to call another contractor to get it sent. C’est la vie. Maybe a story for another day.

“Morning will come, it has no choice.” — Marty Rubin

Lake Whistlers

"A small flock of black‑bellied whistling ducks gathers on a calm blue lake, the water smooth enough to reflect their shapes in soft ripples. Most of the ducks float quietly on the surface, their bodies warm brown with dark bellies, their long pink bills bright against the cool water. They sit low and relaxed, drifting in a loose cluster as if sharing a peaceful morning.

Above them, two ducks slice through the air in mid‑flight, wings spread wide and beating with steady power. Their wings flash patterns of brown, white, and charcoal, each feather sharply outlined as sunlight catches the edges. They fly low over the water, just high enough that their reflections shimmer beneath them like ghostly doubles.

The scene feels alive with motion and stillness at the same time — the quiet swimmers below, the swift flyers above, all held together by the gentle blue of the lake. It’s a moment of wild grace, a snapshot of ducks doing what ducks do: gliding, flying, and filling the air with their soft, whistling calls." - Microsoft Copilot

Sanderling
Immer wieder schön wenn Vögel in unmittelbarer Nähe ruhen. Besonders wenn man zuerst da war und die Vögel dann näher kommen und völlig unbeeindruckt erscheinen.

#BirdsOfMastodon #birdphotography #fotografie #photography

A solitary small bird stands on one leg in a black and white setting, with a soft, out-of-focus circular highlight in the background. The bird has a rounded shape and a textured, mottled plumage with a white belly, hiding its beak under a wing.
