Red Belly Woodpecker Returns

Hey Mitch, glad your friend came back for a visit.
Well captured.

As usual Mitch, your photos are great.

Thanks Marco and Rock. This guy is sly, he comes in from behind the feeder cause he stops in a tree down the road and scopes everything out first, so he sees me in the window. Sneaky guy, so it's hard to get him on a stick or better perch.

Hi Mitch,
Those are great shots. So sharp. He sure looks like he's enjoying that suet in the second shot.
I must tell you Mitch. Every time I look at your avatar I see a tiny little face, with a great big beard, wearing a huge striped hat. Makes me give it a second glance every time.

I love this pictures. Now i am taking pictures of birds too.

Excellent shots Mitch. Very sharp!!

Great shots Mitch. Only birds coming to my suet feeder, so far, are Bluejay and Catbird. Had a few White Breasted Nuthatches last year.

Thanks Shirley, Moni, Kevin and Steve. Shirley, I see it too, only to me it looks like a striped beret.

Kevin, I do have one nuthatch and a grey catbird eating it too. The catbird is here every 20 minutes or so.

Mitch great shots. They are a wonderful bird but very quick for sure. They usually don't waste much time at the feeders, although I did have one Sunday that lingered for a little longer than usual.

Thanks Bill. This one is still a bit wild and shy, but that other feeder I shoot at a lot, has a pair of them and are almost tame. I'm hoping to tame this pair too, over time.
