You might think, by my attire, that we might be doing something trawpical today. But really, I just wanted to add some trawpical howliday flair while we looked at a couple of birds that have moved into our backyard for the cooler months.
The bird Mama and I like the most is the Male Northern Flicker. He is very skittish, and hard to get a picture of, but we all know the Mamarrazzi...they NEVER give up BOL!
His girlfriends like to visit the fountain almost every morning with the robins(probably to catch up on the birdy gossip)!
We love the black "necklace" the flicker wears along with its rosy cheeks and speckled body!
Such a pretty bird, don't you think?? They are a member of the woodpecker family!
...and speaking of woodpeckers...
Mama and I caught this guy at the feeders the other day!
Mama thinks he is either a Ladder Back or a Hairy woodpecker! We watched him for 10 minutes or so and he let us get pretty close to him.
The little guy on the bottom right is most probably a white breasted nut hatch.
He is pretty nutty...he likes to hop around, upside down on the bottom of the suet feeders...
Silly little guy!
OH WAIT! I almost forgot, today is also Christmas Card Day!
Pawliday Season!
