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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this is a red-headed woodpecker. Please correct me if I’m wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_0115\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think this is an eastern bluebird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_0117\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know what this is. Google lens was confused as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_0120\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A couple of ducks paddling around Coal Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_0129\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three deer checking me out from the tall grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_0132\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An indigo bunting maybe. I’ll have to be getting a zoom lens for my new camera I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
