1. WOW! Don't you just love all of our beautiful birds

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

9. Yes! Craig fills both

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

2. Whatchoo got there?

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

[Deuxcents]

3. Maybe Woodpeckers?

[Probatim]

4. Red-headed Woodpeckers - not to be confused with Red-bellied woodpeckers (which also have red heads lol).

Those are nice neighbors to look at.

10. Red Headed Woodpeckers

[druidity33]

23. They look very different from

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.

5. I got raccoons, my ferals and a hawk being chased by 4 birds.

6. I am SO jealous!

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.

11. Don't blame you

I'm not a snake person !

[Dem2theMax]

15. I'm okay with any snakes that cannot kill me.

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!

7. Nice!

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!

16. I had a huge pilated woodpecker

at the last house we backed up to a woods.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. wow. ka dak ack.

13. So pretty

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.

12. Amazing!

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

[samplegirl]

17. I thought so.

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

[Butterflylady]

14. Those woodpeckers are beautiful...

[samplegirl]

18. Indeed!

[samplegirl]

19. The female

[Hope22]

20. The plot thickens.

We have had the females but never the males!

[IA8IT]

24. Red-bellied, Red Headed male female look alike.

27. Nice. I see very rarely woodpeckers (but not these, just regular not red woodpeckers) when we had a dead tree in the

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.
