Birds Birds Birds

My feathered friends give me much joy.  

Here are a few photos from this week.

Pileated Woodpecker Female

Pileated giving me the eye

These big birds really mow through a block of suet.

Pretty crappy photo, but the little birds in the snow look like christmas tree ornaments.

Red bellied woodpecker
A tree broke in half in a storm about 3 years ago.  I never pulled down the broken off part.
These shards of trunk are a big hit with the birds, often a bird - mostly woodpeckers - grab a seed and go to the shards to crack it.

My little buddy the Tufted Titmouse in the snow.

 Another good Dane has left this earth.

Erling was married to my Dad's first cousin.  

Dad & Erling were very close friends and both served on Iwo Jima.  

Today his obituary was in The Leader.
