Raptors

Recently there have been a lot of raptors about.

Muscatatuck has been good for Barred Owls, especially towards the rear of the property near the T intersection by Myers Cabin. Spotted two Mature Bald Eagles in that general area as well.

Also there have quite a few Re-Shoulder Hawks, Red-Tailed Hawks, Coopers Hawks, and American Kestrels about along the Ohio River in Clarksville and Jeffersonville.

Lapping park in Clarksville has also been pretty good as well. Spotted two Coppers Hawks, a young Red-Tailed, and a Kestrel in pretty short order.

As far as other birds, finally got the shots of the Pileated Woodpeckers I have trying to get for so long off of Bugaboo road. Two healthy Pileated's were chasing each other around a dead tree. I was able to get some decent pictures, but it was very cloudy, raining, and starting to get dark, But it was better than nothing.

The feeders out front of my house has seen a growing increase in Tufted Titmouse, and the Goldfinch are becoming more scarce around the thistle feeder.
