Backyard birding during lock down

I was very luck yesterday while taking bird photos for my "lock down" project! I wandered to the back of the property to where it borders several wooded acres and right off the bat, I spotted a Red-breasted Sapsucker on a fence post!


It flew off after a few minutes so I leaned against a tree to see what else I might discover. After several minutes, I heard the all of the Pileated Woodpecker that I have been hearing but not seeing. Suddenly if appeared and landed on a tree above my head about 20 feet away! I grabbed a couple photos before it flew off!


I continued on walking the property line and spotted several more species including this Dark-eyed Junco.


I also got a quick look at a pair of wood ducks but they quickly flew off before I could get a pic but I'll keep trying!
