Woody

Another day, another visit by Woody; this time, he was pecking away at one of the Maple Trees and ignoring the nuts; wonder whether he intends to move in permanently?

Beautiful bird -- I hope he does not peck his way through that rather narrow branch !!

[Phil Sandford]

@beryl That's what I was thinking; he's going to be making an incredibly small hole in that branch :-D

[Lou Ann]

He is a handsome fellow. I’ve always wondered if they are pecking at insect holes, trying to get to the insect?

[Phil Sandford]

@louannwarren I think that is what they are doing to be honest.

Nicely captured against the bright blue sky. The bright sky always makes for better bird shots than a dreary day, I find.

Great shot!

Beautiful. I read that some woodpeckers tend to take up residence and stay.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous. Well done Phil for capturing him NOT on the feeder. I’m sure he’ll stay around now he knows there’s a good reliable source of food.
