Camera Critters

We have a couple of young woodpeckers that have been hanging around the deck ...they love the suet feeder I have hanging there.


The photos are slightly foggy because it's so dang hot and humid out there the lens kept fogging up :( 


This particular one is so young that he's more curious of me than frightened and he hangs around and lets me get very close before he flies away. 


Sometimes he just sets on the deck rail and watches me watch him :)

  3. Sweet little woodpeckers. We have downy and hairy woodpeckers in our yard and they DO love suet. Did you know they also like shelled peanuts?

  4. They are so cute! We have downy and hairy woodpeckers occasionally. They watch me closely when I lift the camera, but often allow me to get a good shot before they fly away.

  5. What a touch you have with your little friend. I bet he will pose for you again as thanks for his treats.

  6. Wonderful to see the birds come into the yard. They are so fun to watch and especially when they come back year after year! Good job!
