Groundhog Day
Apparently Groundhog day is on January 29th in Virginia. The groundhogs have been hibernating since November, but today one came out, walked around a bit, looked for his shadow (which was there) and went back underground.
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker (#4) I have seen this girl a lot, but had a hard time snapping a picture of her.

Cardinal
Cardinals are prettiest when there is a little white snow. I am going to count this as (#1) on my bird count for the year.

A Fall Walk
Took a nice walk today down to the river. The Fall colors brightened the landscape.
We've had rain the last few days, actually a little snow yesterday, and the river is running high.
Hawk or Falcon?
We saw this beautiful bird of prey on a walk through our property this afternoon. I'm not sure if it's a hawk or a falcon. If you have suggestions, let me know. He had caught something and was perched on a stake in the ground, and flying back and forth to a spot on the ground about 20 feet away where it seemed he was eating something. As we got closer he flew to some taller trees nearby.
