Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday,
and on Saturday, Saturday's Critters, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Pickwick Lake (Sky Watch Friday)

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, November 11, 2018

A jet contrail cuts across the sky above Pickwick Lake. The structure on the right is the lock and dam.

2. Favorite Photo of the Week

Great Blue Heron, Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, November 11, 2018

If you want to see long-legged wading birds, remember to look up, too!

3. Autumn Color

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 6, 2018

Yellow on yellow!

4. Pony (Saturday's Critters)

Tishomingo County, Mississippi, USA, November 5, 2018

I see several ponies and horses here whenever I drive by, but they seem to prefer the far side of the pasture. Finally, I saw a pony close to the road - and a real cutie it is!

5. Pileated Woodpecker (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 10, 2018

I glanced out the window as I went to the kitchen to make myself a cup of hot tea, and look! a Pileated Woodpecker, Dryocopus pileatus, on a dead limb of my apple tree!

If you see a tree with rectangular pieces of bark chipped away, it is most likely the work of Pileated Woodpeckers. They are searching for insects to eat. They supplement their insect diet with fruit, berries, and nuts, and you may see them at suet feeders, too.

Have a wonderful day!
