"Bluebird New Year"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Dear
Friends,
I trust you had a great New Year! I took a family hiatus that I
dearly needed. Family and friends are so very important!
In the photos below, the Bluebirds are having a few problems at
the suet feeder.

What
a sight to see these bluebirds in action!
But, I don't think the Hairy Woodpecker was very worried.

If
you every wondered why they call this bird a 'Red-bellied Woodpecker",
now you can see for yourself. :)

If it was totally red on top...it would be a male. She's a tough girl!
