Around the neighborhood and backyard in October

In late October I saw a lone eagle on the utility tower in my neighborhood. He was calling for someone. I had been seeing one around the area but this was the first time I had seen one on the tower where they nest.

A few days later both eagles were on the tower nest and they were having a conversation. What do you think they were saying???

Coming home I ran into the turkey family again. They were just hanging out on the road.

On my way to the store I stopped by the utility field in our neighborhood and saw two deer hanging out in the far corner. One of them had a big booboo on her neck.

Bluebirds were still coming to the bird bath in the backyard.

Yellow throated warblers were also coming to the bath.

The feeder was busy in October with pine warblers, Carolina wrens (who are here all year long) and house finches.

Palm warblers showed up by the tons and we have so many in the backyard. They come right onto the patio looking for bugs. They are not shy.

I saw the pileated woodpecker flying into our oak tree and ran outside with my camera to get the above. They stay high up in the trees and it’s hard to get them from the window.

Our hibiscus bush was in full bloom.

  1. Great series on the Eagles. Love the turkeys and the deer. The warblers are always a treat to see. The Pileated Woodpecker is one of my many favorite birds. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.

    I think those eagles were saying, ‘Follow her, she knows where the turkeys are!’
    Wonderful photos of all the ‘friends’ in the neighborhood! Love the woodpecker.
