Around the Hollow

Observations of the past week-or-so.

Lon built a bridge across a small stream. We probably should have used 16-ft beams, but carrying 12-ft boards is about the limit for our 6 1/2 ft truck bed.
Pink azaleas are in bloom.
Indigo buntings (left) and eastern bluebirds (right) like to sing from the tops of the trees.
The blueberries are blooming, and this unusual lady beetle was checking out the flowers.
Our trail camera is mounted on this post. The sawdust at the bottom attracted our attention. It appears that carpenter bees have decided that this post will make a nice home.
Pileated woodpeckers, not carpenter bees, are responsible for attacking this stump. The stump has served as out gate post, but it may not be around much longer! The woodpeckers started hollowing it out in February and have pretty much demolished three sides. I moved the trail cam to see if we could get some pictures, but it didn't record any woodpeckers.
