We had more of these birds here this year than I have seen in 16 years, I think it has to do with the clearing of the land next to us, displacing nesting areas. It was great to see all the wee ones emerge as well.

    I really like one and two! I really wish I had more woodpecker pics. They are very photogenic birds. They are quite hard to find around my neck of the woods except for downys.

    Very nice set, Emmalou. I love the 'after the bath' shot. Birds look so cool all fluffed up. Nice catch.
