This was a sweet little 'small' to stitch - 2" x 2".

I heard or saw all my woodpeckers this past week.

I had not one, but two Hairy Woodpeckers visiting my backyard feeders. 

I was pleased to see a female (on the right).

I have been seeing a male Hairy (on the left) quite regularly.

He also works away on the feeders in the front of the house.

The Red-breasted Sapsucker never made a sound, but I noticed him anyway.

See his needle-like tongue?

He came by late in the afternoon, so I battled low light while taking these photographs.

I am hoping to continue to see Sapsuckers as fall turns into winter.

I do still see my Acorn Woodpeckers often.

Here's a couple of guys . The one on the right looks pretty proud to have snagged a peanut.

I do have lots of peanuts available

I had a young male Red-Shafted Northern Flicker eating sunflower seeds.  That's rather usual as I normally see them at my suet feeders. 

The bird then decided to work away on one of our large Douglas Fir trees.

He has a very faint red mustache - I assume it will turn darker as he becomes a mature adult male.

Stripes and spots - it works well for this bird!

Here's a female eating suet.

I did hear a Pileated Woodpeckers a couple of times last week, but I never caught a glimpse of the bird.
