Title: Woodpecker Saturday
Post by: DragonSpeed on October 17, 2009, 06:48:19 PM
I was away for a week, resulting in some hungry birds apparently in the neighbourhood.  Once I refilled the feeder and the suet cage things were hopping!

4 different woodpeckers came by today.  I got some shots of 3 of them:
