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.
