Backyard Autumn Nature in New Jersey

Squirrel on an Empty Fountain in my Backyard. I am OK with the squirrels as long as they stay out of my attic. With the new roof I don’t think there is a way for them to get in (fingers crossed). Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 100-400 mm OIS lens (ISO 200, 400 mm, f/8, 1/80 sec).

Springtime Nature in Colorado.

I was about to leave for a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park and saw this brown bird with spots outside the Residence Inn in Boulder. My home away from home while working at SIRNA. I got a couple of pictures of the bird, but didn’t know what it was at the time. I finally figured out that it was a Northern Flicker. A woodpecker that feeds on the ground. In Rocky Mountain National Park I went for a hike in the Longs Peak section. A few images — a squirrel, a small white wildflower, and a purple crocus wildflower. Many more images for another day.
