Seed Seeker....


The red bellied woodpecker surprised me with his seed seeking behaviors.  I know in the winter that they pick seed out of the suet but during this spring he is busy selecting the exact seed that he likes.  He shoves his beak back and forth in the seed pile until he finds what he wants. He reminds me of a person with a plow pushing through material.

Oh I love this... he could be choosy all he liked if he was on our bird table. We did have one woodpecker that liked to eat the wooden table.

Interesting attitude! When there is variety, it seems no matter whom, become choosy.

A Beauty….

A new bloom that was bought two years ago. It takes a while for them to establish. The company is in Oregon and our climate does allow them ...
