The little Downy Woodpeckers are one of my favorite birds to visit my feeders. Dressed smartly in black and white, they are all business. They jump in, gobble down a bite to eat and then off they go. Pretty little things.
Skywatch Friday in and around Town
-
No big adventures lately so what I have this week are Skywatch “targets of
opportunity.” Sights I saw while going about my business. First up is a
driveway...

We saw a huge woodpecker in Costa Rica, I was amazed to see they actually dig the wood, like Woody Woodpecker! Man, that bird was loud... :D
When I was a kid we had a woodpecker that was convinced that there was a huge worm living inside the aluminum pole that held up our TV antenna. He drilled on that thing for most of one summer.
I can remember hearing woodpeckers as a child playing in the local woods. Now, alas, where I live the area is too built up to hear the woodpecker and, sadly, not even the call of the cuckoo. Perhaps if one is a country dweller then these two bird calls are more common.

Bonjour.
La photo de votre pivert est bien réussie : à son oeil malicieux on voit qu'il se régale !
Bisous.
