ID'ed my first bird today, by sound!

[mjs1973]

I was out walking the dogs today and heard a bird peeping in the woods. I thought to myself, I know that sound, it's a downy woodpecker. I stopped and looked for it, and sure enough, I was right! I had a downy in my backyard this morning so the sound was still pretty fresh in my head. I didn't have my camera with me tho so I didn't get a pic. I went out again later this afternoon, to sit under a tree and just wait for something to come along. I heard that same sound again and knew instantly what it was. No pics of that one either.

After that I sat down under a tree and fell asleep. It was in the 30's today. I never did have anything come along for a photo op so after about an hour of sitting, I jumped in the truck and went for a ride. I saw a lot of hawks and a few deer. Here is my favorite pic of the bunch.
