Northern Flicker
We shot these photos of the northern flicker on a stump. He spent some time eating insects from the dead wood and some posing on the stump.

Great Blue Heron fishing
We've been posting quite a few heron pictures from our trip to California. We really didn't need to leave Lake Nelson and New Jersey at all. This heron and a friend have been frequent visitors since we returned. Here are some pictures of a heron fishing from a neighbor's boat.

Nuthatch
The white-breasted nutcatches were common visitors last winter but we didn't see any this spring. A few have just returned to the area.

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
