Good Evening
Hope everyone got a chance to unwind this weekend, as for me had a pleasant rest and spent some time in the hide. Still a bit cold and windy here but this week promises to bring warmer weather so I have my fingers crossed.
I am able now to shoot this female as well as the male Hairy Woodpecker frequently. They have the taste for peanut butter and frequent my staging area at least 2 or 3 times a day. I did get a surprise yesterday, the Red Bellied Woodpecker has started to visit and hopefully I will be able to get some great shots of this beautiful bird in my controlled environment. Hope you like the shot, see you out on EPZ.
