Animal Crackers: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
http://jeffo1947.blogspot.com/2015/04/yellow-bellied-sapsucker.html
You never know what you'll find inside! Thursday, April 9, 2015. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers ( Sphyrapicus varius. Are a handsome woodpecker migrating, right now, through the forest at Fox Island County Park. Sapsuckers typically peck small holes in a line around the tree trunk. The woodpecker then feeds on the tree sap as well as the insects attracted to the dripping sap. Has this male Sapsucker visited this same tree during a previous migration? Photo by J.

Animal Crackers: Pileated Woodpecker
http://jeffo1947.blogspot.com/2015/02/pileated-woodpecker.html
You never know what you'll find inside! Saturday, February 28, 2015. This handsome Pileated Woodpecker. Returned to our backyard feeders this afternoon to enjoy a little suet before going on with his busy schedule. Whether it is PIE-leated or PILL-leated it makes little difference because it is this magnificent bird that draws our attention and not it's name. The red cheek stripe indicated this is a crow sized, male, Pileated Woodpecker. The word "pileated" means crested. MONARCH - START TO FINISH.

You never know what you'll find inside! Saturday, July 11, 2015. On July 4th brother Tim and I had the pleasure of hiking Hell's Hollow Trail located in McConnell's Mill SP in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. The trail, while not long or difficult, was well worth the trip to this portion of the 2,546 acre State Park. The trail head can be reached from the parking lot on Shaffer Road with the trail ending at Hell's Hollow Falls .4 mile from the parking lot. More Information can be viewed through this link:.

You never know what you'll find inside! Tuesday, June 10, 2014. My deodorant failed me! After several minutes the butterfly flew on it's way and I went to get more information on this insect that I was unfamiliar with. It seems this is a Hackberry Emperor Butterfly (Asterocampa celtis).
