Pileated Woodpecker (male and female) 04-25-26

I first notice the head of one of the Pileated Woodpeckers in the nest hole after I photographed the male and female Northern Flicker.
A short time later, the male Pileated Woodpecker flew to the nest, ducked inside to check on the female, who then flew from the nest. The male posed for a few photos before going into the nest.

Northern Flicker (male and Female)

On 04-24-26 I got a photograph of the female Northern Flicker.
Today, 04-25-26, I got a photograph of both the male and female.
I got these photos while waiting for the Pileated Woodpecker.

Great Horned Owl ( Female and Owlet) 03-18-24

Female Great Horned Owl and Owlet on the nest. The owlet is less than a week old as it still has it's egg tooth and it's eyes are closed. The male is nearby making several calls. This video is posted 25 months after I recorded it due to the nest being discovered and visited by many people. Since the female hasn't used the nest for two nesting seasons I've decided to post the video.

Northern Lights (11-10-25 & 11-11-25)

Here are some pictures I got of the Northern Lights on Tuesday and Wednesday. The ones with my name on them were with my Nikon and the others were taken with my iPhone. Most were taken at home while on my deck and the three with my name were taken in Elm Creek Park.
