A yellow bellied sapsucker. A woodpecker that feeds on the sap of trees (and can do quite a lot of damage). The yellow belly seems to be misleading, as there is only a hint of yellow on the shoulder.

A pileated woodpecker. She was quite far away so the photo is heavily cropped. Very noisy bird, didn't stay still for a moment, a real pile-driver, she dug great chunks of wood from the trunk.

We stopped for snacks along the trail and a tiny chickadee came to see what we were eating, no doubt hoping for some left-overs. They are lovely little birds but tough, being one of the few species to stay all year and brave the bruising winter weather.

We came across this little tree creeper hunting for bugs in a rotting tree stump. She was very active and the photo is not quite as sharp as I would have hoped but I enjoyed watching her so much that I am going to up load her anyway.

A barred owl. It was "hiding" from a crow that was chasing it through the woods presumably to keep it away from its nest.
