Heckrodt Nature Reserve - Finches - Chickadee - Nuthatch - Woodpecker - Appleton Photographers - MC Kinney Photography

So many wonderful songbirds out at Heckrodt Nature Reserve last Thursday. This adult female Downy Woodpecker

and then a Red-bellied Woodpecker that flew so fast he flitted by, around a tree and off into the woods that I couldn't even get the camera pointed at him much less an image taken!
There were two American Goldfinches hanging out in nearby trees that never went to the feeders.

There were many Black-capped Chickadees coming and going.

This one doesn't even look like he flew in, but rather hopped onto the feeder!
There were about five or six Purple Finches both male and female, all very rotund!

And this beautiful adult female White-Breasted Nuthatch. I can always tell when it's a bit colder because the feeders are a lot busier!
