The Birds

Nice pics Ketchn!
I too feed the birds, brings me a lot of enjoyment.
I notice your junco is lighter. Looted than ours up here.
We have lots of gold finch, house finch, and the regulars like you.
Here’s a special one. Can you tell what it is?

It does look like a nuthatch, Redge, but a little lighter than the ones we have up here. I love to watch them moving up and upside down.

Yeah, they have had some you tubes taken in Florida of land that has absolutely been torn up by wild packs of pigs. Nasty too. Guys set up at night and shot the heck out of them, but they can be a real problem. I remember that photo you posted one time of a pickup bed loaded to the hilt, I think heading off to the dog food factory?

I've had up to 17 species of birds in one day at my feeders in the spring time. I only feed sunflower and suet. The undesirable birds, blue jays, are too lazy to feed heavy on the sunflower seeds. Daily I have 4 species of woodpeckers feeding on suet. My favorite is the majestic Pileated Woodpecker.

My favorite visitors also.

Great picture. Mine is camera shy. Saw it working on a nest hole for 2 days straight. Mind boggling how much wood they can remove and how perfectly smooth it looks.

That is a true beauty, VB. The prettiest that we get and my favorite the the yellow winged flicker. Beautiful when they come in to land.

The pileated is working on a hole above the other one. Mother-in-law apartment?
