Lately all of my birds eat me out of house and home. But lately the Red Bellied Woodpecker has been visiting quite frequently. He is a very wiley character too. Very early in the morning you can hear him pecking extremely fast on the gutters or the drain pipes. And it is loud! This will continue for about 20 minutes or so, and my neighbors find it funny, because they know it's my pecker making the noise. Last week the brazen bird even pecked at the window, because, I'm bad, the sill was empty of seed!!!!!! There is also two young ones, so I may be inundated with peckers soon.
you and your pecker are ALWAYS making a spectacle of yourselves!
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic coloring!
ReplyDeleteI have those birds here, but never could see what they were from so far. Beautiful!!!! I had no idea they were so big. I can only imagine the pecking it makes.
ReplyDeleteIs it appropriate to show us your pecker on the window sill?
ReplyDeleteInundated with peckers... somehow this doesn't sound like a problem, does it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou've spoiled those little birds, Mistress. A pecker that's used to getting treats will get frustrated if you forget to please it. As you well know...
ReplyDeleteYou my friend should be writing Chinese proverbs.
DeleteThere you are, on pecker patrol again. (When the space shuttle was on the launch pad, NASA employed a pecker patrol to keep the birds from damaging the foam on the external fuel tank, my cousin worked on the pecker patrol for a couple of years.)
ReplyDeleteI definitely I think have all the requirements to be on pecker patrol. They do peck awfully hard.
DeleteWhat a handsome fellow!
ReplyDeleteThere are worse things than being inundated with peckers. You just need to make sure they don't damage your wood!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs, my mistress!
Lovely shots yet again. I never knew they were so varied in colors. And big. Its amazing the shots you get.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!!!! Its hard to get close to them, let alone see them sometimes. They like to remain invisible. Your pecker sure is a pretty one.
ReplyDeleteLovely post! I have several here, and your right about the peckering. I hear them through out the day pecking on things like the gutters and the siding. How they go so fast is beyond me. He is beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteHe makes our birds look rather drab!
ReplyDeleteCareful, Mistress. You know what can happen if you feed the birds - you can't get rid of them!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. You got some great pictures. He does have a rather mischievous look😊
