I have a mish-mash of photos and critters, sharing birds from my backyard and some from my archives. I am happy that I do not have to go further than my back yard to enjoy nature.  

1. The Peacock is a regular visitor to our yard especially on the milder weather days.  He landed on top of our car one day. 

Another day we came home from dialysis and he was on our deck railing. 

2. The Cardinal likes to sit in our blueberry bush, maybe protection from raptors or the mean Mockingbird. 

We saw the Turkey Vultures in the woods next to our house, one day they feasted on a deer carcass on the road across from our house.

3. Some of my backyard birds on the feeders are the Carolina Chickadee and the American Goldfinch.

4. More of my backyard feeders birds, the Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, White-throated Sparrow and a Carolina Wren. 

Below are various Nuthatches, three are seen either in my backyard or in Southern Maryland and one was seen in Colorado in the Rocky Mountain NP. 

First is the Brown-headed Nuthatch seen in the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge Maryland. I have seen this bird more along the coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic states. 

The Red-breasted Nuthatch was seen in my backyard, it was an occasional visitor during the winter. 

The White-breasted Nuthatch can be seen every day in my backyard, a regular visitor to my feeders.

The Pygmy Nuthatch was seen in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The Pygmy Nuthatch is the smallest Nuthatch can be found in pine trees in Mountains and foothills.

Below is the Golden-cheeked Woodpecker seen on a guided bird walk in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. 

The Jamaican Woodpecker below looks a lot like our Red-bellied Woodpecker.  

Below is the Red-naped Sapsucker seen in Arizona. 

The Smoky-brown Woodpecker was seen during a guided bird walk in Belize. 

Below I have the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, these birds are seen in back yard and all around Maryland. 

The Black-cheeked Woodpeckers, two photos below were taken in Tortuguero Costa Rica. 

The Crimson-crested Woodpecker was seen in Panama during a guided bird walk. 

The Ladder-backed Woodpecker seen in Arizona looks similar to the Downy Woodpecker. Two photos below are the Ladder-backed Woodpecker. 

The Lineated Woodpecker was seen in Costa Rica, this bird reminds me of our Pileated Woodpecker. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing the woodpeckers I have found on my walks and travels.
