A View From A Car Window

Coming out of my driveway this morning to run a few errands I noticed this Pileated Woodpecker going to town on this stump in my neighbor’s yard. If it wasn’t for the fact I was in my car, I never would be able to get so close.

One of the great joys of birding of course if adding a new life bird to ones list. However it’s equally as rewarding to help someone else find a new life bird, which was the case yesterday as myself and best friend Phil ventured to Lake Erie for a day of birding.

Granted total driving time was about 7 hours to and from the lake, we were still able to record over 60 birds for the day with the highlight being this beautiful Yellow-headed Blackbird, which was a lifer for Phil.
