Albatrossity
Often spring in flyover country will sort of sputter along. A few days of cool overcast weather, a few days of hot weather, and then all of a sudden it will be summer. As I write this we are still sputtering. Yesterday we had a high of 86F, today it is cool, overcast, and drippy with occasional excitement from a passing thunderstorm. So these pictures will reflect that; there will be some winter birds, some migrants, and some year-round residents warming up for the summer season.
Our backyard feeders have an abundance of several species of woodpeckers in winter; we have Northern Flicker, Downy, Hairy, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. All of them like this suet log, although when it is nearly empty I get the stink-eye ,like this Downy Woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) male is giving me.
