Feed the Birds!


We bought a new bird feeder over the MLK holiday and the birds just love it. Lots of Black-Capped Chickadees and Bluejays (not to mention the squirrels) have visited. Yesterday, I saw a bird I've never seen around here before so I took a picture. It took George and I a while to figure out what it was from the bird books but we finally came up with.....a Red-Bellied Woodpecker! Supposed to be a rare bird for this area, it's more prevalent south of here. We took several pictures and some videos and I will be scrapping the pics at some point. We also have Downy Woodpeckers and Pileated Woodpeckers here. No pics of the Pileated Woodies, though. We never seem to have the camera handy when we see them!
