Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - Male, Red Rock, East Chatham NY, May 30, 2009

I found a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker nest on my evening walk

I just got lucky. On my evening walk I decided to see if the Great Horned Owls I saw the other evening (there's a picture of one of the owls in the Birds Series of my Photography pages) were around and while staked out on the ridge I was scolded by a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker returning to the nest. I managed to get a couple decent shots of him and his mate and tomorrow I'll put up a picture of the female.

Night camp

On my property off Less Traveled Road - The Home Place, Red Rock, East Chatham NY

• I used to camp in a few locations on what little I had left of the family farm
  • In the driveway by the house
  • Across the road where the barn once stood
  • On the 20 acre piece off Less Traveled Road
• Now, with the kind support of the friends who now own the place, I camp across the road where the barn once stood.
• Verizon cell phone service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
• Verizon EVDO service - Terrible, barely usable with an amplifier
