Northern Flicker showing up for evening visit
This guy prefers "chickadee chew" over suet! Glad he paused in the tree before hanging off the squirrel-proof seed feeder.

Chickadee chew? I hope you are not giving your birds tobacco.
Nice one, Debbie. I agree with Bill - that tobacco isn't so good for birds
Young Swainson's Thrush in flower basket
This young Swainson's Thrush had a run-in with a window this morning. I placed him in a flower basket to rest and reorient (thinking positively here). After about an hour he was perking up enough to sample a flower bud. Moments later he took flight into a nearby tree!

Nice recovery effort, Debbie! Great to see!

You have proved the saying that a bird in the hand truly is worth two in the bush.

Juvenile Pileated Woodpecker
Juvenile Pileated Woodpecker spent half hour or so exploring the different feeding options in the yard. Suet was the winner!

Were these juvie pileated shots taken through a window?
Sweet shots, Debbie! Love it.
Sweet shots, Debbie! Love it.
Yes. Can you tell from the photo, or from knowing my limited lens length? Just curious.

I cannot tell from the photos, which is why they are so amazing. It looks as though the bird is perched on the end of your lens.
Downy Woodpecker
I was standing on my deck when this little fellow flew right up to the nearest feeder! I was delighted as I only see them a few times a year.

You get such amazing photos from your backyard.
Thank you! I love the times where I'm in the garden and the birds continue their activity as if I'm not even there. In reality more often than not when I step outside there is a mass exodus!
