The…. WOODPECKER


Boy was I happy to see this fellow peek over the sunflower’s head and pecking at the seeds. I have planted the sunflowers to feed them to birds anyway, so I do not mind him eating some a bit prematurely. Next year I will plant even more.

    Lovely photos, Charly. I’ve never been able to get a good photo of a woodpecker. Usually, they’re too high up. This fellow is obviously enjoying the seeds.

    Just couple days ago, I saw black woodpecker hacking deadwood at a close distance. It was quite impressive, with the large size (compared to other woodpeckers) and a sound like axeman chopping wood.
