Pink, yellow, copper and chartreuse. Not colors I'd chose, but love how they look together.
One of my neighbors says she has Hairy Woodpeckers at her feeders. Perhaps that is why I don't! They are happy elsewhere and only come by to tap on a tree.
Thankfully the Flickers seem to find a welcome at my feeders.
This group shot of the Acorn Woodpeckers amuses me.
Doesn't it look as though they are having a family confab of some sort?
Junior, Mom, Dad, and Little Sister.
This sideways branch is a favorite perch.
And apparently the birds have much to discuss with one another.
A male
A female
Two females
Peanuts for all!
Fortunately they don't fight with one another.
I wonder how many peanut feeders I'd need to make them happy.

Hi Beth, Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog but I enjoy not only your cross stitch but your bird pictures also. I have a question? I live in Indiana and my husband has many bird feeders in our back yard and I am trying to determine what size lens I need for my camera to get some nice pictures. I have a Nikon DSLR. My back porch is about 50-70' from all the feeders! How do u get such close ups of the birds? Are you outside? Thanks for sharing!!

Love those woodpeckers. The family confab pic is so great!
I never would have picked those floss colors together for that stitch either. I like the results.
I think the family confab is really a gossip session, lol. No matter how many peanut feeders you put out, they would all get used. I love the colors used in Twin Hearts. Another great finish for you!
I really like this Brightneedle finish! It is to the point, sweet and pretty! That is a lot of Acorn Woodpeckers at your feeders... what's not to love about your yard?
I love those acorn woodpeckers! They are so comical looking. You have a nice group of them. Yes, I'd be interested to know too, what type of camera and lens you use for your photos. I have a Canon.
Those woodpeckers are so comical sitting together! I think they are having an intervention. Your vintage stitch is so sweet and pretty, such delicate colours.
Great photos Beth. I always enjoy your blog. Beautiful stitching as always.
What a pretty design. Looks like you are having a wood pecker convention in your yard!
Brightneedle--I miss them so much! I don't think I ever saw this design before. I love the font.
I didn't know that woodpeckers flocked together like that. They are so beautiful & it's quite a photo with all of them together!
