Is this heaven? I have two male Red-headed Woodpeckers chasing each other all over the place! I haven't seen a red-headed here for decades.
Other birds today: Baltimore Orioles - 5 (2 stunning orange-black males, 3 in various stages of dress) Rose-breasted Grosbeaks - 18 (12M/6F) I'm kind of shocked by this number. Gold Finches - 17 (mostly male) I'm kind of shocked by this number, too. House Finches - 5 (2M/3F) Purple Finches - 5 (F) Catbirds - 2 Blue Jays - down to 7, after having 12-14 marauding throughout our property for the past week Eastern Towhee - 1 (M) White-throated Sparrow - 7 Song Sparrow - 1 Brown-headed Cowbird - 1 (M) Mourning Dove - 1 Cardinal - 2 (M/F) Black-capped Chickadees - 5 White-breasted Nuthatch - 1 (M) Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 1 (M) Pileated Woodpecker - 1 (M) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - (M) Red-bellied Woodpecker - 1 (F) Hairy Woodpecker - 2 (M/F) Downy Woodpecker - 2 (M/F) Eastern Bluebird - 1 (F) Chestnut-sided Warbler - 1 (M) Nashville Warbler - 1 (M) Crows - 3 I know I missed a bunch of birds because I was caught up in watching the Red-headed Woodpeckers as much as possible! We had them on the farm when I was growing up. This is better than the Townsend's Solitary or Tufted Titmouse visits!
