Woodie and Woodina at the Feeder

Woodie and Woodina both came to the feeder today. Not at exactly the same moment, but I would say together. It's interesting that some, but not all, of the woodpeckers figure out the feeders; it's the same with the hummingbird feeders. This year there were no woodpeckers hanging precariously from the teeny hummingbird feeder rungs, but in years past, there have been many.


Now, an examination of the head spots. My goal is to begin identifying each bird by its unique markings so we can figure out if we have the same birds coming back each year or not.


Crappy shot through dirty glass, this one is, but it shows the irregularity of his red cap.


I will be back later after I have looked through older photos to find some other head shots.
