Happy #WoodpeckerWednesday with my last 'fresh' Acorn...

We signed closing docs and did a walk-thru today, so things get hectic from here. Moving in July is not the smartest thing I've done, tbh!

Peace! I'll be offline a minute...🤘😶‍🌫️

📸 Acorn Woodpecker, she's #182! 🪶🌿

Good morning, all!😊 I am so fortunate to have two young downy woodpeckers, both male and female, visiting the feeder. Here, the female works its way around the bottom of the feeder as it retrieves pieces of shelled peanuts through the small holes. 🪶🌱

Getting a suet bite to eat before bedtime, male Pileated Woodpecker on the left, female Pileated on the right. Both feeding a single juvenile female Pileated who stayed out of frame behind the tree. 🪶

Dirty windows make for fuzzy pictures. Their third visit today.

I caught this Pileated Woodpecker trying to decipher the ancient markings on this tree. Turns out it was just an ad for a gambling website.

A young Red-bellied Woodpecker perched on a railing and informing Dad (who was nearby) that food would be very welcome.

Manifesting...🪶🌿

❤️ I'm showing you the mature male Summer Tanager again...just so I can show you the elusive juvenile that I keep missing! 🤘😆

Not real sure I'd get a good click in the clear either. My camera doesn't know what color it's sensing, and I can't blame it. 😵‍💫

Good morning, all!😊 Got real lucky with this blue jay spending some actual time on arbour after managing to get peanuts from cylindrical feeder designed for woodpeckers and nuthatches (not shown). While it has adult plumage, I kinda think it's a young adult by it remaining, post-meal, in the open.🪶🌱
