Downy Woodpecker taking a sip 🧃

Took him a little bit to land his little feet’s - but once he did he enjoyed some sweet nectar for quite a bit.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a different bird besides hummingbirds at their feeder so I had to share!

Juvenile downy checking out the buffet

A couple weeks ago, I noticed a juvenile red belly at the feeder. Now I have a juvenile Downy. Look at his little head! He’s going to get spoiled, because I have the fancy seed out for the holiday weekend

Northern Flicker statue

My college has a statue of a northern flicker that never ceases to make me smile. Especially because I have several flickers that visit my feeder on a weekly basis. I love these birds!

Northern flicker woodpecker

A beautiful northern flicker woodpecker that I found lying on its back in the yard this morning. He was injured somehow and couldn’t fly, but was a beautiful bird I was lucky enough to see up close. Took him to a rescue and rehabilitation organization this afternoon to get him back on his wings and flying…

Two Juvenile Red-bellied Woodpeckers?

I think we have two young ones? The first one is skittish and frightened by a finch. And he flys away then another one, who is more confident, lands to eat. Am I right?

Pileated Dad and juvenile

I thought I’ve been hearing a baby Pileated, but confirmed today with Dad showing his daughter the ropes! Baby woodpeckers are soooo goofy.
