If it's sunny outside, I try to remember to take out my pocket camera in case I see something. It's not a great camera for zooming but does it faster than my phone and the pics are slightly better. Someday I will have a better camera for zooming in, but the best camera is the one you have with you.
I was out with Kyanne on Sunday standing at the top of my hill by the fence and movement in the woods caught my eye. It was a Pileated Woodpecker! Not my first sighting behind our house but it's not something you experience often so I grabbed what photos I could. It was hard to miss once you saw the size.
The next day I was looking out our back window and noticed an Eastern Bluebird flying down in the yard and back to the tree overhanging our fence. Grabbed the same camera and got this shot...
Not sure where it is nesting...the sparrows have taken over the boxes my neighbor put out.
