Woodpeckers are neat things to watch, but those pileated woodpeckers are incredile! Huge, loud birds. I can walk in the backyard some days and hear them in the woods nearby. Happy New Year of birdwatching, everybody!

I saw 2 pileated woodpeckers this morning, along with the redheaded and flicker in my yard. What a way to start the new year.

I am delighted the hummingbirds that come to my feeders have not migrated yet. Each day they are here is a gift for me. I will surely miss them when they leave.

There's a red-headed woodpecker in my neighborhood, too -- I haven't seen it in over a month, though. Twice, I saw it beside the road on a stopsign and on the side of the road picking food from the roadway.

Java, I need to comment in here. I JUST spotted a RedHeaded Woodpecker over the weekend. I did not see it this spring (first year that has happened). That is usually when I see it around Mid May.

Seeing it, and next door they also saw it, so I know I was not alone in spotting it. Makes me comfortable in it's still here. Their numbers are dropping (in population). I was asked to report sightings to the local store I buy my seed, she is reporting to the Audubon Society the sightings.

Aren't the Pileated's great to have around? I must have 2-3 nesting couples in my area! Winter time they work as an alarm clock around January for AM feeding.

I plan to post a blog soon about the squirrels in my backyard -- once they found the bird feeders, I placed TWO squirrel corn feeders at the corner of the yard. Today, there were FOUR squirrels out there eating at the same time!

Just posted a new gallery with some new pictures -- including bluebirds nesting in the walnut tree, and those huge pileated woodpeckers from this morning!

Good morning, everybody! This morning, there were TWO pileated woodpeckers in the backyard. I don't see those around very often, much less TWO of them: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Pileated_Woodpecker/lifehistory

Don't worry, I got pictures! I'll upload them soon.

How's the bird watching going? There's a bluebird perched on the mailbox as I type this, and I watched two vultures fight over, kill, and eat a huge black snake in the backyard yesterday!

It's 8:30PM and almost completely dark outside, but I can STILL see the little hummingbird shadows flying from feeder to feeder!
