...I was out working in the garden this morning and sound of woodpeckers was almost deafening. We have a serious infestation of Emerald Ash Borer and the birds are having a feast,
ReplyDeleteTanza, We have feeders for perching birds as well as for hummingbirds. Ground feeders clean up under the primary feeder. Doves, nuthatches, red bellied woodpeckers, blue birds, different types of wrens, downy woodpeckers, a variety of finches, cardinals and more! Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteWonderul capture of the beautiful woodpecker.

This is the first time i saw it. Picture is great! Thank you for information and pictures.
ReplyDeleteI doubt our woodpecker is that pretty, but he sure is noisy in the morning. A real wakeup call for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe have bird seed we put out from time to time. The birds have trained us well. Birdfeeders don't last long here due to the squirrels.
ReplyDeletesquirrels are problem in my backyard too...

I love to see and hear woodpeckers. One of the few birds that give themselves away.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of woodpecker.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Que maravilha a imagem do Red-bellied woodpecker (em português pica-pau de barriga vermelha). Nunca vi nenhum, ao vivo.
ReplyDeleteTanza, gosto de passar por aqui e aprender consigo.
Beijo, bom fim-de-semana.

We've recently bought one bird feeder. Right now, all we've attracted is black capped chickadees but that's fine. We have downy woodpeckers and I do not want them drumming on my house's siding, as much as I love birds.
ReplyDeleteQuesto picchio è bellissimo.
ReplyDeleteAnche da noi ci sono tanti uccelli ma francamente non saprei dirti di che specie.
