Birding Photography 19

Today is Birding Photography Day 19. We are going to talk about the Red Headed Woodpecker for my birding photography 19 today.

I took this Red Headed woodpecker at Ebnizer Point at Jordan Lake in August 2018.

The red bellied woodpecker is in the woodpecker family. .

How to identify the Red Headed Woodpeckers heres how to do it.

The adults are black and wings are also black too. Clear white below and their head and neck are red. Thats how it got the name Red Headed woodpecker. Their rump is white and their tail is black.

Heres how to identify the immature Red Headed woodpecker. Back and and much of their wings and head is brown. . They feed on acorns in tree cavities or large insects on the ground. Sorry Al D for the eating of the insects on the ground. get it AL D!!! Their voice is loud cheer sound.

The red headed woodpecker can be found in open woods and sand hills and towns. They are a resident woodpecker here in North Carolina.

Step into Nature 8

Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday. This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

A another new variant of covid

There is many new variants of covid but the one we are going to talk about on this post is MU variant of covid virus. The MU variant of covid was found in Columbia , South America in January 2021. This variant has caused some outbreaks in Europe, south A,Erica and the United States. The vaccines of covid and treatments are less effective in this variant. By far this one is not spreading as quickly as the original covid variant and Delta variant of covid . But for most the quickest one of the spread of the covid variant is still the Delta variant . The symptoms are the same as the variants of the covid and delta variant. So please take extra caution around these variants.
