Re: Woodpecker !


Lovely Bird Eileen. It is similar to ours, but ours have red on them too, I think the Downey does in the males?

Re: Woodpecker !


What lovely pictures, Dawn. thanks for posting them! Yes, the downey male does have red on his crest; that's why I knew my visitor was a girl. Hope she comes again...

Re: Woodpecker !


Murphy's Law again!! Took the camera this afternoon when I went out with the trash and the woodpecker was there at the suet cake ......and the battery was dead... !!! Popped some new ones in, but naturally she was gone when I went out again...,,

Re: Woodpecker !


That's typical when there is a good shot waiting to be taken Eileen!
Next time you'll have to carry spare batteries on you as well!!
