Here's the female Hairy Woodpecker.

I'd not seen my Hairy Woodpeckers for a couple of days, so it was good to have both she and the male in the backyard Monday afternoon. 

But right now I think the Red-breasted Sapsucker is the star of the show.

It's tough to top that bright red head.

The bird was working up high in the tree, and allowed me to come right to the base to have a good look.

Normally Sapsuckers are all about small little wells or holes...

...but this one was checking out something much larger.

Did the Sapsucker excavate it or was it someone else's work?

I don't think the bird is willing to say.

I'm just glad he was willing to pose for this series of photos.

Thanks!

The Acorn Woodpeckers are back at the front feeders.

Here's the male...

...and here's the female.

These photos are taken through the dining room window which has gel stickers in an attempt to stop window strikes, so the photos are not as clear as they might otherwise be. 

Here's one of the couple of female Flickers that I see.

She looks as though she is having a good day.  I hope you are too.
