Back in late April I went on a hike at Oxley Nature Center here in Tulsa. I have a new mirrorless camera that I was trying out. It is very light and has a hand strap so you can carry it easily and take photos quicker. So off I went.
I think this is a red-headed woodpecker. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Same bird, a few feet away. It’d be nice if the birds would have some manners and come and perch within a few feet instead of back behind stuff.
I think this is an eastern bluebird.
I don’t know what this is. Google lens was confused as well.
A couple of ducks paddling around Coal Creek.
Three deer checking me out from the tall grass.
An indigo bunting maybe. I’ll have to be getting a zoom lens for my new camera I think.
And a poem from Sasha Martin who was Oxley’s Artist in Residence a few years ago. Her poems are scattered throughout Oxley. I them.
I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters.
I believe it is a pileated woodpecker! They are huge. We’ve had 4 on our property one year.
Great bird!
Hello, Yogi
I love all the birds and the cute deer.
The Pileated Woodpecker, the Bluebird and the Indigo Bunting are all favorites.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy Memorial Day weekend!
You were lucky to spot that woodpecker! I dream about it.
Looks like your new camera is already getting a great workout. I loved the woodpecker shots, and the deer peeking through the grass are wonderful.
…the Right Words, amen!
