Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens)Observer
dgillDescription
This woodpecker flew into my garage about 12 hours ago. I have all the doors open but it has not yet flown out. It flies back and forth from the garage door rails to the hanging bikes but never gets low enough to fly out the door. With a diet consisting primarily of insects and spiders, I hope it finds some of the ones living in my garage.

Eastern Cicada-killer Wasp (Sphecius speciosus)Observer
dgillDescription
I spotted this on a bush in my yard. Wasps and hornets have similarities in appearance but I believe this is a cicada killer which is a wasp.

We've been watching a robin's nest on our pergola for the past couple of weeks. The nest contained three blue eggs and all three hatched. I was able to get a picture of two of the baby robins. It won't be long until they start to fly.
