Latta Nature Preserve:
This past Saturday morning, March 22, 2025, I birded at Latta Nature Preserve, located in Huntersville, NC, with a small and congenial group from the Mecklenburg Audubon Society.
It was a little chilly at the outset, but as the Sun rose over the trees, it developed into a beautiful early Spring morning!
My favorite sighting occurred early on, when two male Pileated Woodpeckers flew into the woods, not far from the trail, and hung around for a while, actively foraging for breakfast, presumably insects!
Here are a handful of my favorite images of these impressive and photogenic Woodpeckers.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
