Peek-R-Boo!......I see you!
Can't tell by the pic, but this is the biggest Cardinal I've ever seen (equal in size to a Mocker)
It's funny that even though woodpeckers are one of the bigger birds, they're also the shyest!
Well, that's all for now. The weather is cooperative today, so gotta go get busy with yard-work!
I'll check back later. :)
Nice pictures of the squirrel and the Cardinal. Nice here today; still cool, but that's a good thing for yard work. I am so completely intimidated by my yard it's unreal. So much potential; so little time and resources. It just isn't in my budget to invest a lot in the yard, and it does take a lot. I have other priorities which take precedence right now. Grrr....and even if I could make the investment, I have so little time of my own, I'd have to pay someone else to do the work. That has it's own problems. No one else ever does it the way you would yourself.
Good point about Red Bellied WP; they are larger, more powerful than most backyard birds but they will shy away from any conflicts at the feeders. They enjoy the walnuts I put out for the Blue Jays but pick their spots carefully to grab one.
