Wild Bird Wednesday

Wild Bird Wednesday #43
Link to Paying Ready Attention

This little boy presented himself with a marvelously bright red nape ... could it be that he has a hot date with a pretty little "Chickie"?



Tis the Season :)

Your woodpeckers are darling. We have these little guys here too. Also, we have a red bellied woodpecker that stops by our feeder now and then too. The weather is staying nice now, so it's time to put up the other feeders. We got a couple for Christmas that we've been saving for Spring. You have a fabulous day, Edna B.

I'm amazed at how loud those little guys can drum when they are out to please the ladies (and scare away rivals).

Well, you know that I love him & his Mrs. They are over at my place all of the time. I adore them.

Beautiful woodpecker.

Great shots! These guys are usually very quick as they scamper along branches and around the tree trunks.
Good job on catching one!
