The Yellow Wagtail is a European and African bird - and one I've never seen, so I decided to share this photo from Wiki Commons. It's quite handsome.

I have no wagtails to share, but I do have woodpeckers.

Here's my male Hairy Woodpecker...

I see him most days. 

Here's a female Hairy - she is very infrequent mid-summer.

My Acorn Woodpeckers have been scarce too.

See the two birds?

I sometimes have a male come to the backyard feeders.

But earlier this week I had three - three males fly in at the same time.

One was clearly a juvenile - I'm hoping for photos.

Come on guys - I want a family portrait! 

The Flickers remain reliable - like this male.

And here's a female.

I've had up to three at the feeders.

Blurry very long distance photos of a male Pileated Woodpecker.

I could hear the bird calling and calling and calling.

I finally found it off in the distance atop a Cottonwood.

That wraps up the woodpeckers for this week.
