A sweet Mule Deer fawn still in her spots has just stepped out of a 'spotlight' of sun filtering to this clearing from the canopy above so I could take her picture foraging in the shade. Zen.

So, aufgegessen, nächste Nuss bitte.
#squirrel

Rotbraunes Eichhörnchen steht auf den Hinterläufen auf der Erde, die Vorderläufe nach unten ausgestreckt, so dass die Krallen der Pfoten fast den Boden berühren. Der Schwanz ist s-förmig nach hinten gestellt. Das Eichhörnchen schaut aus dem Bild heraus, und das rote Fell leuchtet in der Sonne. Es trägt kurze braune Ohrpinsel.

😖I find most of the verbiage describing a Red-naped Sapsucker's belly plumage woefully inadequate...😍🕸️

👇So tell me, wordsmiths, how would YOU Alt text her. This should be fun! #WoodpeckerWednesday 🪶

Red-naped Sapsuckers are black and white overall with a red cap, nape, and throat. They have a long white bar on the folded wing. A black stripe through the eye is bordered by white stripes. The belly is mottled black and white, with a dingy or yellowish cast. Female Red-naped Sapsuckers, like my sweetie clinging to a Slippery Elm sapling here, have a white patch on the chin while males have entirely red chins. That's what you find on teh google. I would say her belly has a cool spiderweb pattern that radiates from her bib, and mixed in with that yellowish cast it sure looks wicked!

This spot is full of the potential of Nature.
A sea eagle might soar over, or a kite, kestrel, sparrowhawk, buzzard or raven.
A fox might trot by, a green woodpecker hunt for ants.
Hares will appear or stags bellow in the woods. An adder at the field edge.
I have seen them all here and more. #nature
