Preening, Provender and Peevishness

All woodpeckers today - well, almost.


I enjoyed watching this hairy woodpecker giving himself a good grooming while clinging to the top branches of a poplar tree in my front yard. As you can see, he bent himself double during the fluff and puff cycle.


Brand new suet cakes delighted the red-bellied woodpecker...


....until a starling tried to horn in his happy meal. He wasn't having any of it and the interloper was soon put to flight.
