There were a lot of folks out so any little birds that might normally be near the trail were few and far between. On the north side of the lake, however, we passed a man with a long lens similar to mine. I asked if he was photographing birds and he said he was, that he had just seen a pileated woodpecker (<em>Dryocopus pileatus<\/em>). It wasn&#8217;t visible from right there but a little further along I could hear it&#8217;s call. We actually saw two of them and I got one photo with both in it, but I was shooting through branches and it isn&#8217;t worth sharing. Most of the shots, in fact, were not all that good, either blurry or with intervening branches. Even this one has a branch with stems in front of the bird, but they are small the bird is reasonably sharp. Not as good as I&#8217;d like, but pretty clear what it is. We also saw mallards (<em>Anas platyrhynchos<\/em>), hooded mergansers (<em>Lophodytes cucullatus<\/em>), and a ruby-crowned kinglet (<em>Corthylio calendula<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cathy, Dorothy, and I walked around Lake Needwood today, starting from (and ending at) Needwood Mansion and walking clockwise.
