The Red-Bellied Woodpecker is a daily visitor to our feeders and was included in my count for the Great Backyard Bird Count. I love this bird's colors and the fact that he doesn't take any crap off the Starlings. The third picture down is one of him fussing at a Starling- the Starling flew away. You can see the interaction in my post about the Starlings.
There are many pictures to be taken when one lives in touristy area. Our birds are particularly photogenic!

Word Bird Wednesday
Time once again for everybody's favorite---Word Bird Wednesday! You don't have to be an experienced bird watcher or photographer (Thank the LORD) to join in the fun. All you really need is a love of birds--observing them, photographing them, feeding them, learning about them, sharing them, enjoying them--or just ooohing and ahhhing over the finds of others. Whatever it is you enjoy about birds, join up with Springman's Word Bird Wednesday at The Pine River Review. You won't be sorry--unless you miss it.

Incredible bird- we don't have them here, but it looks like a combination of a flicker and a down woodpecker.
Great photos.
