Melissa's Nature Notes: March 2015
http://melissasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I glanced out the window today, enjoying the view of no snow on the banks of the stream (though it's snowing pretty hard right now, so perhaps that will change by tomorrow), and noticed a small, dark reddish shape. A skunk cabbage blossom- one of my favorite signs of spring! I grabbed my sketchbook and headed out in the rain, that promptly began mixing with snow, and quickly sketched a few blossoms. Click on the image to see it large enough to read. Sunday, March 22, 2015. Click ...

Melissa's Nature Notes: June 2015
http://melissasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. The first day I saw a juvenile, with brownish coloring and streaky breast, but didn't have my sketchbook handy, so no sketch of it. Over the next few days I saw two different adults, one with typical markings and one which had less black- no or almost no black beneath the white cheek. I don't know if that is also typical, but I haven't seen any photos of birds like this. One morning I was watching the bird with less black while he (she? Click on the image to see it larger.

Melissa's Nature Notes: January 2015
http://melissasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. A chunky, yellow-tinged bird flies in and lands on top of one of the deck posts (we made the deck with eight foot tall posts to hold bird feeders), calling with a loud wik-wik-wik rattle-like sound. He then flies to the suet and stays there, feeding enthusiastically, for a long time, unlike the other large woodpeckers, who feed briefly then fly off to a nearby tree. Male Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted). Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Blood Moon (Lunar Eclipse October 2014).
