It was chilly today. Probably should have wore more than sunglasses.

I see what looks like cuffs for shorts and a collared short sleeved shirt. And flip flops. And a hat.

Round a turn on the local bike trail and there's a parrot. Amigo is his name. Patiently waiting for his owner to finish burning a number.

I'm not close enough to the lake for those bastards, but you're right, it's time for bloodsuckers.

Right? I thought it might be a juvenile eagle, but the head doesn't quite look right. I'm thinking some sort of hawk, too. He didn't want to stick around for more pics, unfortunately.

Here's a shot of him flying away:

Pretty cool, whatever he actually is. 🤔😉

I saw a red-headed woodpecker today, but couldn’t get a decent pic, even after about a dozen tries. 😟 I’ll upload a couple, but I can’t see him, in the pics. Weird lighting, I guess, his head is bright red, when the sun hits it right.
