A pair of Red-headed Woodpeckers were nesting way up high in a big snag in my garden, and it was so cool to see them feeding their young and basically just hanging out with me every day! They tend to like this area, and I see them every year.

American Crow

If you listen closely to crows calling to one another, you'll notice that they all have different voices and styles of cawing, just like humans!

Another bird that is all gussied up and ready for a night on the town (and is also TOO cute!)

Barred Owl

"Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?" Probably not this owl. I think they are into more of a raw food kind of thing.
