Out on a limb (or camping out)!

 
This little bluebird has perched 'out on a limb'!


And he's wondering how to get down, or maybe what's down there!


But he's content to perch.


And there are other pretty bluebirds in the woods at this time of year too.

And don't even get me started on the Warblers!


Every year I'm pleasantly surprised at how many Warblers fly into town.


This one just needs a tasty worm before going his happy way.


One more...with an attitude! 


And isn't this Flicker regal up on this old snag?


I enjoyed watching him


and taking photos from every angle.


I love seeing that dark red patch on the back of his head.

These were all taken on one hike along the Marjorie Harris Cross Florida Greenway!


How fabulous to live so close to the trailhead.


And the Long-tailed Skipper was pretty fantastic too.

We have a lot to be thankful for here in Florida in Fall.

How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

If I'm slow visiting everyone, I might be perched under a palm tree.....
camping at one of our beautiful State Parks! 🌴

I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

  and Mosaic Monday HERE !

This is beautiful weather for camping! I love these brisk cool days, as long as I am dressed for it. That wind can sure give you a chill if you aren't properly covered! But the sun is shining and this is the time to get out and enjoy nature at its best here in north central Florida. Thank you for sharing these beauties with us! Loved all the pictures!!

I'm wishing I was there right now to see all these birds. I woke up to snow on the ground this morning

Barbara said...

Your very last photo is especially intriguing to me because of the texture of the flowers. Beautiful!

Enjoyed your photos and commentary, Diane. You have lovely weather in your area. We do too, but it's of the snowy variety. It's sunny with pale blue skies and snow glittering in the sunlight. It makes me feel happy... and Christmas-y! Wishing you a beautiful weekend.

So that's where all our Warblers went! In your last Flicker photo, the red patch on the back of its head looks like a heart! Enjoy your time under the palm tree!
