Woodpeckers

On By CarynIn Wildlife

Here are some more pictures from the back yard, woodpecker edition. I was surprised to see that we have two different species.

It is neat to watch the woodpeckers hop around the bark of a tree, listening. Even though my feeders target squirrels, we have had an increase in woodpecker sightings since installing the hanging feeders.
