my daughter called yesterday morning and while we were chatting I looked out the window and spotted this downy woodpecker…
it first landed on the metal pole and I was very worried it might try to drill into the metal and hurt itself, lol…
while we were on the phone I took quite a few photos as it moved over and gathered sunflower seeds…
not sure I’ve ever seen one of these guys at the feeder…

slept out on the deck last night… it was lovely… put three cushions on a lounge chair, two blankets and a pillow… not a single mosquito, woo hoo…
this was what I saw when I woke up…
did a bit of weeding, ate brunch in the garden, washed outdoor furniture and filled all the bird feeders…
spent some time reading and watching the birds flitting around… there was a drinking party and bath time happening too, lol…
after cleaning out much of the water hyacinth I am getting a much better view of the fish as they swim around…
even the chickadee let me get a picture…
I got within arms length of a female Downy Woodpecker… must have stood there for about three minutes chatting to her, while she was trying to get a peanut out of one of the front feeders… lovely…
