I guess I took twenty-some pictures, but this little woodpecker kept making his way around to the other side of the tree just as I’d snap. I need a longer lens! My bird watching hobby obsession has definitely rubbed off on my girls; Lulu came bursting into the house this afternoon to alert me of this fellow’s presence. Now if I could only get better at identifying them! I’ve perused the Cornell Ornithology website, but I’m still not sure. Here’s another picture, which was quite overblown, that I’ve fiddled with a bit so you can see his red head.
Any ideas?
In other bird-related news, we heard an owl tonight! Oh, how I’d love to get a look at it!
My guess from the pictures would be a Harry Woodpecker. We have a Northern Flicker that has been delighting us, this week – so much fun!
Excuse me – I mean hairy not harry
We are bird watchers here too! A couple weeks back we actually heard one a discovered it sitting on our chimney. Our best detective work led us to find it was a great horned owl giving off a mating call. You could here the answering owl in the distance.
