This all happens so fast that I feel very fortunate to have caught this exact moment at this angle with that perfect golden hour light. It is the perfect example of power and grace coming together in nature.
Here is an image of a Red-bellied Woodpecker as the available light was getting worse. This image is was taken at 6400 ISO so there is some digital noise but I still find the images very usable.
I love the early morning songs in early Spring from The American Robin and seeing them hopping around the lawn on a rainy day looking for worms. Such sweet birds.
