Three kinds of woodpeckers to share.

She's sitting atop our chimney.

And three Acorn Woodpeckers all at the same time.

Such bright, sharp colors.

There's a chocolate bunny and here's a chocolate bird.

Male House Finch - based on their diet, their feather color can vary from yellow, to orange, to pink to red.

 
Golden-crowned Sparrow with bright breeding colors.

The flock also included a White-crowned Sparrow.

Also in bright breeding plumage.


Usually there is just one amongst all the Golden-crowns.

Always nice to see.

There's a chocolate bunny and here's a chocolate bird.

Song Sparrow

Every once in a while a Robin swings by.

This one did not have anything to say.

Just quietly watched the rain fall.

I got to see all three of the Acorn Woodpeckers yesterday.

They love love love this Nutty for Nuts seed cylinder.

I changed up the border to make it more spring-like and Easterish.

Here's a look at some mid-April birds. 

Three Canada Geese flying overhead.

A mature Robin.

A young Robin.

Male House Finch

Two male Evening Grosbeaks! 

It's hard to top this bird's bold colors.

It's even handsome from the back. 

The female is quieter in coloring...

...but still has that strong large beak.

Pair of Steller's Jays.

One of my many California Quail couples.

Spring is in the air!

Cat Construction



 
This is my progress on Mosey 'n Me's "Folk Art Cat".  The tail is done and all of the stripes are in.  I've begun the pink filling-in - everything below the nose is new.  It finally looks like a cat!

And now on to the birds...

My little female Downy Woodpecker is an Everyday Visitor.

She is my smallest woodpecker - here she is with an American Goldfinch for comparison.

She likes peanuts.

She also likes hulled sunflower seeds.

She has a very pretty tail.

Here she is on a snag hammering away.

The female Hairy Woodpecker is also a Backyard Regular.
She likes mixed nuts...

...and peanuts.

About once a week I see a male Hair Woodpecker.  He's also a fan of mixed nuts.

I did see a Red-breasted Sapsucker, but the light way very low.

So not the greatest photos to share.

I think my male Acorn Woodpecker is frequenting the backyard with much more regularity than the feeders in the front of the house.

Again mixed nuts and peanuts!

And more peanuts!

Thank goodness for Flickers!

They enjoy suet and are utilizing the front yard feeders.  I wonder if the lawn and fence construction workers have impacted the other woodpeckers' behavior and habits the past few weeks.
