Last week during the January thaw in mid-March in central Maine, we had a great unplanned sunset show. I got stuck behind a slow driver while the best part of the sunset occurred overhead. Here is what I was able to capture when I got to the local hilltop.

Winter woodpecker
A rare walk in the backwoods this winter allowed us to see the woodpeckers at work. Here a female downy woodpecker was found twenty-five feet in the forest ceiling.

Waiting his turn
Wandering tracks
Wandering through the back woods last week; the lack of regular snowfall allows numerous tracks to accumulate.
Declining tree
An old tree slowly falls into a creek near an old trail bridge.
Winter meal
A hairy woodpecker is caught working hard about thirty or more feet high on a Maine birch tree.
