I think this is one of my favorite Valentine designs - I like the addition of some bronze and yellow - I might have to get this framed some day.

Yay! A Red-breasted Sapsucker!
I'm so pleased I saw this bird and managed to snap off one photo.
I've not seen a Sapsucker for months and months.
I did have three Acorn Woodpeckers fly in briefly last week - again no photos.

The Steller's Jays are much better at posing.
