I took out the garbage today (that is not the best way to start telling this)…

SPRING IS HERE!!!! (much better) How do I know? There were about 20-25 Robins hanging out around my building today… Being the shutterbug that I am, I ran outside to catch some photos of them. (click on any photo to get a larger image).

I caught (well photographed) them on the ground…

And to my surprise, the Robins were not the only bird that caught my eye! Walking around with my camera to my eye photographing the Robins I heard “tap tap tita tita tita tap” I immediately followed the sound. By scanning the tress (killing my neck in the process) I was able to find the woodpecker that was the source of the sound.

I did not expect when I woke up this morning that I would be grabbing my camera and getting some great pictures. I I did not expect to see not only the Robins that drew me out of the house, but also the cutest woodpecker I’ve ever seen. I’m not normally very impulsive, I normally just make a plan for my day and stick to it… But I am always amazed, when I do act on my impulsis how much fun I have. Spring is here!!!
