Baby Red Bellied Woodpecker
The baby Red Bellied Woodpecker is starting to get some red feathers on his head. He waited on the tree while his mother flew back and forth with some suet.

Red Winged Blackbird and Baby
A red winged blackbird with two babies has been visiting the feeder. The babies are quite noisy waiting for the mother to bring them food.

Great Blue Heron
We took our walk early this morning and surprised a great blue heron. He flew off after a few seconds but we were able to get this photo. We're posting this for Lana, who told us she loves herons.

Everyone needs to rest sometimes
It's been too hot and everyone is sleepy. We caught the mallards taking a midday nap in our yard. George, our cat, likes to sleep when it's hot and sunny (or when it's cold and rainy). Mike caught this squirrel resting peacefully, blissfully unaware of Chris' feelings for his species.

About us
For those of you visiting this site who do not know us, we thought we would offer a brief explanation of how it all happened. We have lived in several different states, including Connecticut, New Hampshire, California, Virginia, and currently New Jersey. The house we rent sits right on a small lake, so we initially saw lots of geese and some mallards, rather mundane yet enjoyable. There seemed to also be an abundance of woodpeckers, and we started putting suet out for them. Mike frequently gets up early, and while working from his desk in the window this past fall, he noticed something other than geese on the lake. At first it started with a Pied-billed grebe, and then we also saw briefly a Wood Duck or two, a few Ring-necked ducks, Bufflhead, and then the gorgeous Hooded Mergansers. Well, we’ve fed birds before at other homes, but we’ve never lived on water, and we were especially fascinated by the beauty of the Hooded Mergansers. We have two grown daughters who still live in California (lucky kids) and family sprinkled around Connecticut, and we were constantly e-mailing them pictures of the birds and ducks, so we decided it would just be easier to put them up on the web to share. We are not real die-hard birders, and we have no formal photography training. We’re just a couple who is enjoying the birds and waterfowl of their own backyard and wanted to share them. So, you may find more professional pictures somewhere else, but we hope you enjoy our site as well.The Information Dirt Road
