"Red-bellied Woodpecker Fun"...in the Garden
Richelle Hunter
One just never knows with the birds what the next entertainment will be! From squabbles at the feeders to preening of their beautiful feathers to singing their glorious tunes to 'landings' and 'takeoffs' and so very much more, the fun never ends! A few days ago, we enjoyed the antics of a Red-bellied Woodpecker. These guys are most often viewed flying through the garden to the peanut feeders or scooting up various trees. On this day, a male Red-bellied Woodpecker was checking out things on the ground then flying over to a nearby tree. He did this several times so the 'show' was quite excellent! If one takes a little time to watch, the entertainment value can make the day!! Keep your feeders filled on this Wednesday....storm warnings & a variety of weather in the area ~ Take Care!!
