Birds at Chesnut Park (& a woodpecker video too)


Male anhinga sitting in his usual spot on the lake.


Tufted titmouse looking down at me. I see a lot of these at Chesnut Park.


My first black and white warbler.


The woods seem to be full of pileated woodpeckers.


I was standing on the boardwalk taking pictures of the above pileated woodpecker when I had a thought "I should take a video of him banging away." The nice thing about my new camera (Nikon D7000) is that it's really easy to flip the switch and record. I hadn't really spent any time doing that yet. After I took the video and got home I realized I was holding the camera portrait to get a long shot of the woodpecker and in the video the woodpecker is not set up right. I can't figure out a way to rotate a video. I'm assuming there's not one unless I had some high tech video editing program. Hopefully, next time I'll get it right. If you have the sound, on the howling you hear at the very beginning is another woodpecker calling to the one in the video. They get really loud in the woods.
