Back camping again!

Our first camping trip of the year. On the spur of the moment.
We went back to Reed Bingham State Park because we loved their trails. We were rewarded with lots of birds.

Have you ever seen a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker? If not, check it out on line (just Google it) or look it up in a book.
These birds are BIG and you don't see them every day. Well, we saw five (5) pairs last week. Just one would be great, but five pairs! (A pair could not have flown quickly ahead of us just to show off again, but there got to be at least 4 different ones). Of course, there were many other birds besides the Pileated Woodpeckers.


We went birding first thing in the morning when the birds come out. We didn't know it, but the birds have a symphony orchestra and they performed for us. We were surrounded by a singing choir of songsters and we just soaked it in. Ahhhh! heaven! It's nice when you don't have to die before you go to heaven.

P.S. The Pileated Woodpeckers were not in the symphony. Boy! would they mess it up.
