I miss this family of Red-Bellied Woodpeckers that I'd become quite attached to at our previous residence. They were so interesting to watch at the feeders and I enjoyed hearing their calls. These are the last few photos of them that haven't yet been posted...
 |
| Adult male "Woody"- always determined to find his favorite seeds. |
 |
| He often placed himself in some precarious positions to get what he wanted. |
 |
| Adult female "Winnie"- an approaching bird. |
 |
| Juvenile from Woody & Winnie's brood this year |
 |
| An upside-down view of the world |
 |
| Carefully backing down the tree... |
 |
| It didn't take long for the juvenile to learn how to hang sideways on this feeder and grab a seed. |
 |
| Just adorable! |
 |
| Silly bird! |
I wish I could have brought them all with me...
they're such neat birds. the juvies always look so bald w/o their red. :)
ReplyDeletethey're definitely acrobatic aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThose are really good pictures of the 'pecker Susan. I hope you can attract the same species and/or many others into your new place.
ReplyDeleteThis is just where I want to see him! Lovely photos. I know when they come a knocking around my place, especially my house! Oh yeah I send the dogs out! Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteThe woodpeckers are beautiful! Awesome shots, and neat how that first one twists his head!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful. I love the gray cap of the female. You got some terrific shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the woodies! They're wonderful birds.
ReplyDeleteThese birds would be a wonderful addition to any garden - I can see why you would miss them when they are not there.
