Woodpeckers
.jpg)
Woodpeckers are another of my favorite birds. I am lucky to see the Pileated, Hairy, Downy and the Redbellied Woodpeckers in my yard and neighborhood. I also see the Northern Flicker and in the winter time the YellowBellied Sapsucker. The Redheaded woodpecker I have to travel to see, I am envious of my sister who has them visit her yard and lives just miles to the north. At least I can see them and I did get to see some great Redheaded woodie sightings at the JugBay Sanctuary.

They make me smile. I can't help thinking of the cartoons with Woody Wood Pecker. They look so intent on wood pecking. I like the ones with red heads.
Great photos! Lucky you a redheaded woodpecker!! I am smiling too! Carol
Your photo's are beautiful. I have never seen a woodpecker so I am happy I saw a redheaded one on your photo's.
Those are awesome shots of the woodpeckers. We have one that lives in a tree in our backyard, but he doesn't like us to get near him.
Beautiful mosaic and fantastic pictures of the birds!
You are lucky to have seen a red head woodpecker Ellen! So beautiful! I love the sound they make when they are pecking away on a tree...it sounds like soemeone knocking. :-)
Hmmm....I wonder why they call it a red-bellied woodpecker? Am I missing something, or does it not have a red belly?
I love woodpeckers too. They're just a neat looking bird. Great photos as usual.
Also want to let you know I nominated you for a BEST BLOG AWARD.
You can read about it at Rural Ramblings.
Enjoy!
Woodpeckers are such lovely birds! I wish there were some in our garden! Terrific photos you have. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your woodpecker post. I think they are an interesting bird. We have some big nice ones around once in awhile. Was nice seeing the different kind.
You've captured those woodpeckers so well, they are always a challenge for me. The redheaded ones look quite striking.
Very nice--red shafted flickers are among my favorite birds. But what a variety you have photographed!
Oh, I must share your blog with my friends in the Ozark Trails Missouri Master Naturalists. I just finished my classwork there and made Intern. I've met a great group of ladies, called the Girlie Birders, whose passion (obviously) are birds. Your photos are just magnificent!
Wow, what a beautiful bird. I love the colors. Have a wonderful week :)
I have seen a common woodpecker here where I live but only twice in 2 years time - I guess I am not out looking to the so often.
I happy you have seen so many different one and that you have taken photos so we can see them too, thank you.

Wow, cool! There were plenty of those black & red ones in the forest next to the house were I used to live. Now it's just pigeons in my yard.
i don't like these critters on my HOUSE, but they're beautiful!
You have more than I have. I don't have the Pileated Woodpecker but saw it across the street once and got a picture of that. I have never seen the red-headed one here.
What a lot of wonderful nature shots!!
Please come visit to get an Award from me...
Love the woodpeckers!
Wow, you had a lot of varied woodpeckers in your neighborhood. Great photos of them!
you have a lot to woodpeckers :)
We don´t have those you show here so, nice to see.
Fantastic shots!!!!
Eileen: You sure get a wide variety of woodpeckers, how lucky.
Woodpeckers are fun to watch. Hairy woodpeckers and downies are regulars in my yard, but I'm jealous that you have a pileated, which I have to wlk in the forest to see.
Really like your photos of the woodpeckers! Love//Eva
what super photos Eileen, you are so lucky to see so many varieties of Woodpecker's.

The readheadeds here (MI) are very shy and wary of people - it's great that you have a nearby place where you can see them!

Your photography is amazing! And what pretty birds!
Nice photos of a bird we don't get down here.
Wonderful photos and 'woodpecker' mosaic ... your post reminds me of my brother who once made a woodpecker door-knocker out of wood in his high school shop class. I dropped by to let you know I've left you a little something at Sacred Ruminations today.
Hugs and blessings,
I envy you for being able to see all them little Beauties :D!
Lovely shots.
Woodpeckers always make me smile!
I love woodpeckers and these are quite nice.
Fascinating! Enjoyed my visit with you.
XO,
Sheila :-)
I love woodpeckers, too. You have a nice variety to show. I don't see the red-headed that often, and they are quite striking.
Wow!, that's a good variety of Woodpeckers!
Woodpeckers are just great! And some nice shots here, Eileen!!
...love your Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I only saw one last winter. Hope to catch another this winter. I also have to travel to see the Red-headed Woodpecker.
Eileen you are so lucky to get this many woodpecker species in your yard. I love woodpeckers and have put up feeders for them just this last year. My favorite shot is the Red-bellied Woodpecker eating the suet.
