Northern Flicker

 

I caught this bird out of the corner of my eye the
other day. At first glance I thought it was just a
woodpecker until I saw the bright yellow under the
tail feathers and wing tips then I had to take another look.
This is the first time I have ever had a Northern Flicker
at the birdfeeder so it was an exciting event for me.
Thankfully it stayed long enough for me to get a
few pictures of it.

 

 

 

The bright red V marking on its head is beautiful
as is the bright yellow tips of the wings.

April

 

 

April is a rainbow month,
Of sudden springtime showers.
Bright with golden daffodils
and lots of pretty flowers.

Big deal I can climb a tree too…..

 

No Problem

 

 

And I thought I had a deer problem but it is nothing
like the Montana Gang’s pest problem.

 

I cannot picture myself chasing these off with just a broom,
but if that was my tree firecrackers might work.

 

A Cowbird Dropped By

This Brown Headed Cowbird decided to drop by for
the first day of Spring.

Spring Coloring

Though the snow is still flying here in southeastern
Ohio the Goldfinches feathers are starting to turn
their golden color as spring grows near.
