Hi Bea, I hope the high heat will not stay long. Did you happen to look at the top of the head of the immature Downy Woodpecker. We had a discussion a while...

Hi Dotty: Well, the Downy Woodpeckers are back this morning but it still seems to be just Papa Downy feeding a female youngster. Perhaps Mama Downy has given...

Dotty, I am almost sorry you raised a question about the head of the Downy Woodpecker I was seeing. I have now become completely obsessed with this Downy...

Hi Glenn, The Lewis' Woodpecker is such a lovely bird. Good luck on your 60 in 6. You probably already have it - just need to kick the kids off the computer....
