Here are my four eagles - they happen to be patriotic ones! This design is very different from anything else that I've stitched this July. 

While I haven't seen any eagles, I have seen several woodpeckers. 

I have confirmed sightings of a male Downy Woodpecker...

...and a female Downy Woodpecker!

While these are one of the most common residential woodpeckers, I've not had any around for a couple of years. 

This small suet feeder on the front porch has become a Downy Woodpecker magnet.  It proves that changing feeders and feeder locations allows one to get a larger variety of birds.

I am once again seeing a female Hairy Woodpecker.

This is a juvenile male Hairy Woodpecker.

And here's the female once again.

I caught a REd-breasted Sapsucker beginning its morning with a good preening session. 

The light was not that great...

...but I did finally manage a couple of shots which show off the head and breast.

It has quiet the black and white feather pattern as well.

Here's the female Acorn Woodpecker. 

I don't often see her this time of year.

Size comparison: Downy Woodpecker on the upper left, Flicker on the bottom right. 

This is a young male Flicker with a very faint red mustache.

That's all my woodpeckers for this week!
