This year, we are celebrating November with gratitude. It's also Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today we are thankful for front yard nature finds!
This week, during my regular house guarding and barking duties, I noticed a little spec of red in the yellow rose bush in the front yard....
...and then I saw him, Woody Woodpecker!
It seems half of our rose bush is dying off, and Woody was eating the buggies underneath the bark!
I watched him work and was amazed at how thorough we was!
Mama says he is a Ladder Backed Woodpecker, and he is pretty common in New Mexico. In fact, we have seen them at our backyard bird feeders AND at our hummingbird feeders (during the Summer months).
I know you'll be amazed, but Mama made a relaxing little video of Woody doing his woodpecker thing.
As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE
Woodpeckers are cool, but they are pretty small and sure do peck a lot...I think bunnies might be tastier and more fun to chase, don't you??
Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.
Hi Sunny,
ReplyDeleteLittle Woody Woodpecker is so smart with his fine markings and splendid red cap. We think you are right to leave him alone and focus on chasing the bunnies.
Toodle-oo!
