Yesterday I decided to take my Black Lab out for a walk and do a little birding if possible. She is a natural "birder". I wish we could tell the birds to stay, sit and heal. I was able to find all 5 species of woodpeckers found here in Eastern Oklahoma, downy, hairy, pileated, red-headed and northern flicker.
To the list of regulars I was also able to add song and field sparrows and a brown thrasher at the barn. This inspired me to take a short trip to the lake where I stopped at the dam. No eagles today but the pelicans, cormorants and great blue herrons where all watching the ring billed gulls work the waters below the dam. At the state park above the dam we were able to find the Black ducks hanging out with the mallards and a Bewick's wren.
