Lazy Hiker
This little guy let me get close enough for a decent pic. Usually it is tough to approach a bird without it flying away on you. Here are a couple of photos on the way to the Redstreak campground, which is located just up and above the townsite of Radium. Usually when on a hiking trip I stay in inexpensive hotels/motels, seldom do I stay at a campground. I guess I just like the luxuries that come with it. I suppose I ought to try doing the campground thing more, however, as I tend to hike solo a lot, it just means more prepping and such. Ok, so I’m lazy lol. Thanks for stopping by.

In Indonesia we call this a woodpecker.
When I was a teenager, I used to go to the forest to collect firewood,
and I often saw woodpeckers.
But the ones in Indonesia have different body shape and colors compared to the ones abroad.
Yes, we call this a woodpecker as well, but think there is also a more technical name for it.
This little bird must have been tired as well which is probably why it was resting on the tree. By the way, you captured a really nice photo.
Traveling a lot can be exhausting for people too and perhaps that's why you're feeling a bit lazy and prefer staying in hotels instead of camping 😉. Nevertheless, the experience and enjoyment of camping is something that even a five star hotel can't match.
Kids really enjoy camping, I think even more than adults at times. I really ought to give it another go when the timing is right.
I think shot of the bird looks a little bit zoomed in or cropped in, I'm not exactly sure. However, these are great pictures. You spend days on a hike? I thought it was always a one-day event
Yes, cropped it is. This was my third excursion on that one day. Very rare for me, probably never do something like that again -- but is was totally worth it.
I agree with you, it's difficult to approach a bird without it flying away; these animals are rather skittish. A very beautiful animal; I like how it looks in color.
I got lucky with this bird, doesn't happen often.
This is an adventure that is essential for all of us. If we cannot go here every day, then once a week we should definitely visit this place on our day off. By going here, we also get to learn a lot and our bones also become much stronger.
Yes it is good to get out and grab some exercise. Very good for the body.
Yeah you are right.
