Some of our winter visiters


I finally got a picture of this female pileated woodpecker. I have seen them flying around our farm, but haven't been able to catch until this day.


Also caught these two in same tree. A male cardinal is in the upper branches. A downy woodpecker is lower on the branch.


We always seem to have at least one pair of cardinals around our feeders as spring approaches. I did not catch the female today, just the male.


This guy comes to our bird feeder every winter. He is a red-bellied woodpecker. I know, I always thought that he was a red headed woodpecker, but according to this site he isn't.
