This female red-bellied woodpecker has been a constant fixture at the bird buddy lately. She’s got a distinct set of growths on her toes that make her identifiable. They appear to not be hindering her life because she’s been around so often, but a first for me to see something like this on a bird at a feeder.
Nothing like a three bird visit video from the bird buddy!
A candidate for the worst birder pic. You may not believe it but there were two red bellied woodpeckers on this Hong Kong orchid. It was lovely to see in person but given this photo, you’ll just have to trust me.
Another twofer visit to the bird buddy today! Starting with a female northern cardinal and then a male.
A beautiful evening in Vero Beach.
Another incredible visit to the Helen and Allen Cruickshank Sanctuary to see the Florida Scrub Jays!
Messy beak Monday! A lovely visit from the neighborhood lady cardinal.
A bit outside of my normal area but a lovely pigeon on a rock in Garden of the Gods park in Colorado on 2/28/23.
A new one for me: a grey catbird peeking out from the mangroves.
Black Point Wildlife Drive, 3/11/23.
An almost off-camera appearance of the male cardinal this afternoon. It also looks like the camera has rotated some, hopefully the squirrels are staying out of the feeder!
