Osprey Back at Waseeka

I wanted to walk at Waseeka to see whether the Ospreys were back yet.  It was still icy in many spots on the trails.  I took Sassafrass Trail, because on weekdays I do not have enough time to walk it.  I was thrilled to see a Pileated Woodpecker close to the trail!

Eastern Bluebird

I stopped on the trail because I heard a bluebird singing.  I saw two fly into a low tree and pulled up the camera to focus on them.  Immediately beyond them was a quiet Pileated Woodpecker, hitching its way up the tree!  I would have completely missed it had the bluebirds not called me!
