Saturday Critters ~ 162 ~

My bird feeders went dry - and that rarely happens.

They were empty for a few days because - quite frankly - I am lazy.

I mentioned it several times to the hubs hoping he would fill them,

it didn't happen.

Chuck finally filled them and the birds usually come right back, but they didn't.

It was quiet all day yesterday and today.

Late in the day today I heard a constant chirping, coming from the tree

and it sounded different.

I checked at the window and it was a Male Downey Woodpecker,

in a good spot for pictures.

I switched off the light, had to change lens, of course, open the window,

I was sure he would take off but he didn't.

It seemed maybe he was hurt, 
because with all the noise and ruckus I made, he never flew off.
He posed for his pictures, like it was inevitable and he did not have a choice.










After about 20 minutes and 31 pictures he finally flew off.
