This is the previous thread.
I'm not anticipating being too active while all this COVID stuff is going on, as I'll probably be working alternately from the office (where I have a full computer setup and Internet connectivity) and from home (where I have an old iPhone and if I'm lucky, 4 bars of 4G network for Internet). So I'm going to post pics of what I can, when I can. Here is a sampling of the latest frog, bird, flower, etc. pictures:
Hey, it's a Flicker on Flickr! Or it's a sapsucker...I forget which....
Titmouse--very close and very curious about me:
Whole lotta frog:
I had to relocate a baby snapping turtle from our pond:
We have a faerie reading club going on in one of the side gardens:
I had some Lepidoptera emerge, including a Polyphemus moth and a spicebush swallowtail:
Pretty flowers!

Love your fairies!
BTW, I am pretty sure that's a male Red-bellied woodpecker in the first photo.

>2 fuzzi: All the red is on his head, so that name doesn't make sense, but that's the way it seems to be with animal species names sometimes.... :D
It could be. I honestly pay much less attention to telling apart all the different specific bird species than the butterfly and moth ones.

>3 CassieBash: I'm just a bird nerd. The Red-bellied woodpecker does have a blush of red on its belly:

>4 fuzzi: Well, so they do! I can't really ever see their bellies because the little blighters usually have them pressed against their food source, lol!
I like birds but usually put most of my active ID talents into the Lepidoptera and their host plants. Though since I'm cutting back on how many I'm raising, maybe this is a good time to expand my horizons into other orders....

>5 CassieBash: my mom got me started on bird watching over 50 years ago, so I've got a head start on others just getting interested. I've only been watching butterflies for a few years, so my ability to identify them without a guide is very slowly increasing.
