Index of Subjects This morning BB, a friend and I went to a favorite lake for a little fishing and paddling. Lovely day warm and calm. Still some flies out - Stoneflies we thought anyway, midges and so on - not many but some still there. Water birds have left the lake to let ice take over. After my friend with the camera left, I heard a loud commotion in the trees along the shore. When we went over we found a female Pileated Woodpecker just at the shore line feeding on dead trees just above the ground. She was unafraid of us - we got to 4 - 5 meters away as she continued to call and search for food. It appeared she only called when in flight but I couldn't be 100 % sure of that - next time I'll check closer. After a bit she remembered another spot and flew off. Other than a few Blue Jays and Doves flying back and forth the only other bird interest was a group of 30 - 40 crows annoying some other bird. I didn't see the annoyed one but since there are Barred Owls in the area, prehaps that was what it was. Enjoy a pleasant fall paddle.
