Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker, though not the best view. It appears very lacking in red, only v small patch on underbelly, so may be a juvenile female. Heard it calling before seeing it in the air. It then sat above us untroubled for a few minutes before flying off at speed. So few birds about by woodland around Cocksburn Reservoir. Really scary for the future! Relieved to see this one at least.

This book though is full of hilarious vignettes; I just hope they are true, lacking photographic evidence or otherwise. A sample:

“seven green woodpecker chicks consumed an estimated 1.5 million ants and pupae before leaving the nest. The droppings of a green woodpecker look like cigarette ash on top of an ant mound. Break them open and they are full of sad little ant faces looking like they don’t know what hit them.”

The red headed woodpecker was taking its time on the feeder, when the hairy woodpecker jumped on. The red head felt that it was full after all and took off.

I have a with the local . The terms are: (a) I acknowledge that I harmed the by cutting down a very large, old oak tree; (b) as recompense, I provide feeders year-round, and (c) the woodpeckers agree to stop banging on my house.

It took 4 months to negotiate this treaty, and it is in constant jeopardy because other are harassing the woodpeckers and eating all the suet.

are the worst, but even other woodpeckers are doing it.

1/2

First bit of equipment. Dead accurate out of the box. No slop.

Finally got an okay snapshot of the northern wryneck (Jynx torquilla) who's nesting here.

The chicks are about ready to leave the nest, I think, since they keep peeping out.

A Pileated Woodpecker is a very large, striking, forest bird with red crest, white and black plumage that sounds really loud when hammering on a tree in the forest These two juvenile Pileated Woodpeckers could see and hear me, but were more interested in the foraging for food in the cracks of the bark on the trees.

I saw both of these being fed by their parents 2 days ago and today, they are both on the suet nugget and one of them is feeding himself. I'm so proud.

One of our two regular Great Spotted on one of the feeders. Not a great photo as it was taken from quite far away.

It's mulberry time!

Most Mulberry trees here are White Mulberries, introduced to North America in a failed attempt to farm silkworms. They provide an attractive buffet for a host of critters. I encountered a Pileated Woodpecker snacking them straight from the tree. Snapping turtles like them, too.

You don't see that everyday! Red headed are uncommon nowadays.

The nature show we watched was on and there are over 300 or so species of woodpeckers!

Northern Flicker - very unusual among in that they spend a lot of time foraging on the ground. Often seen thrashing around in the leaf litter like this guy I saw today. His little black mustache (or malar stripe) is how you know he's a male.

All the adult are hitting the suet nugget feeder hard, so I presume that have near fledged youngster to feed. Today I saw baby downy woodpeckers for the first time--can the red bellied, hairy and pileated youngsters be far behind?
