and other backyard critters! I so enjoy watching them at the feeders.

suet feeders daily.
Both blocks are gone in a day.

I don't know birds too good... but those guys look fancy!

Those are nice neighbors to look at.

the woodpeckers i have seen here in MA. I regularly see the pileated and the downy woodpeckers... and i have once seen a yellow bellied sapsucker! Yours should be called red hooded woodpeckers...cuz they look like they got hoods on.

I live in an area of the country where there isn't enough water to have a lawn that looks like that.
Just seeing the color green makes me happy.

Then, add in the birds, who are so lucky to have those feeders waiting for them. Great photograph!

Can't have bird feeders where I live. Whatever the birds knock to the ground, the rabbits and squirrels show up to eat it. And then the rattlesnakes show up to eat the rabbits. Food chain in action. But I don't want the rattlesnakes, so I have to skip the bird feeders.

I'm not a snake person !

I will happily pick them up (non-venomous snakes,) and move them to an area where they won't get run over. But the rattlesnakes are not allowed anywhere near me!

In mid TN, we get the red-bellied woodpeckers at our suet all the time. Fun watching the fledglings try to negotiate the suet feeder!
Once in a while, we'll see pilliated woodpeckers in the yard. But it's a rare occasion.
Great photo!

at the last house we backed up to a woods.

I took the a photograph the first time when just the one showed up and working on a watercolor.
I'll post when it's finished.

I’ve never seen these before. Very cool!😁❤️❤️

What's strange is the one has been coming for about the last 10 days and then tonight a second one!

We have had the females but never the males!

yard across from our back yard (located behind us in the alley). I've always enjoyed hearing their Tap, Tap, Tap, etc. trying to get at the insects. Such a neat sound that I miss now that I don't go to the Country anymore when my parents lived in the Ozarks.
