Some Lake Critters

Living at the lake we have quite a few visitors. Some of them don't even have feathers.
One tried to visit us without us opening the sliding glass door and spent an hour recovering before moving on.
All summer I have been trying to get a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker but wasn't able to get close before it would fly away. When our friends Lee and Marsha (above) visited, we all were sitting on the deck and the bird came to the suet feeder. I was able to get some pictures and the bird returned for several days after.


We had one more kayak trip and found a lone Heron still around.
And another smaller Woodpecker. They will have to fend for themselves over the winter as we have returned from the lake for the year. It was a great summer with family and friends.
