4/10/10 A Pileated pair passes through. They didn't stick around, I was lucky to get this shot through the kitchen window.

Downy (left) and Hairy (right) Woodpeckers Christmas morning 2008. Half-inch grid suet cage, combined photo (about ten minutes apart) taken through two rather dirty panes of glass. The Downys are always here but we see the Hairy infrequently.
4/5/2009 Since I last wrote he's become such a regular visitor that I now wonder if there aren't two. No female in ages though.

Red-headed Woodpecker May '08. Another shot of same impressive fellow, we don't see these often.

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Feb. '08 (Half-inch grid suet cage) Seen even less often.

Red-breasted Nuthatch Sept. '07, a delightful little character, we don't see these as often as the whites but last year (07-08) we had a pair stay all winter.

White-breasted Nuthatch Not so sharp a shot but a characteristic position of a common year-round visitor, Sept. '07.

Red-bellied Woodpecker Dad feeding a youngster, June '07. A regular year-round visitor.
I thought I'd see what happened if I animated this.

Red-bellied Woodpecker Why he's so-named, June '07.

Female Northern Flicker A bit fuzzy but clear enough to tell it's a female, male has prominent "moustache". This was a print scan, so I'd guess it was taken sometime in the 1990s.
