Baby, is this winter ever gonna end? Look, I'll admit to being a winter guy. I embrace the cold and the snow and the darkness. Maybe not the wind, but, in general, I love it. At some point, though - like about two weeks ago - you have to concede winter's over and it's time to move on. Time to make room for the warblers, ospreys, flowers and warmth. (Maybe not the mosquitoes). I'm a spring guy now.

Northern Shovelers at take off. Shovelers couples stay together longer than most dabbling ducks. They hook up in the winter and stay together until the fall migration. Pretty good especially when compared with those randy little Ruddy ducks who don't bother forming pairs at all. Another interesting thing about Shovelers...when flushed off her nest, a female will defecate on her eggs to deter predators. Seems like a pretty crappy strategy but whatever works, I guess.

A Pileated Woodpecker female. Males have a red stripe in their cheek. The Pileated Woodpecker pecks holes so wide and deep they can cause small trees to break in half. It takes a big 'pecker to do that - these ones are 16 to 19 inches long. For comparison, the Downy Woodpecker measures about 6 inches.
