~ I wish I could write the way a bird sings ~
This Red-Bellied Woodpecker visits every day, she has an unusual sound,
one that is unique to her.
I always hear her before I see her.
The boys have more red,
covering the entire top of their heads.
Unsure if she should fly on to the feeder where I am standing, or fly off.
I backed up quietly and let her come comfortably to the suet,
she got a belly full as I watched and then zoomed off.
She will be back, and I will be here waiting for her!

They make quite a chatter in the woods and we can usually hear them before we see them. We are seeing SO many birds in the feeders this morning. There was even a Baltimore Oriole! I hope he comes back for picture taking! Stay warm!
Such a special moment in the backyard. She’s a beauty!
I didn't know that about their heads and how to determine their sex. Thanks, Debbie. I learned something new today.
Beautiful !

This is such a beautiful bird and I love how you work with them to get the best photos. These are fantastic shots.

u know what is hilarious ...i was going to ask about your wood pecker sightings ...sure enough here is one ... way cool. we have had so many wood peckers lately ...all sorts. i am curious ... have u ever watched the movie "The Big Year" came out in 2011, with Steve Martin and Jack Black ..they are birding ... in search of all sorts of birds. very neat. i wonder if that is really a thing that birders do?? would be fun.
