Just Hanging Around Down Under....

I like to watch the woodpeckers doing their acrobatics. Such powerful muscles."I've been eating too much suet...better do a few pull-ups"
Look at those feet!.....big and strong

"Guess who....peek-a-boo?"

Such a pretty bird....I take too many photos when they do show up!
He looks like he has whiskers under his beak :-)
The female Downy with a morsel of suet
The male Downy doing his version of the "down under" .
Surely this isn't the most comfortable way to eat! I guess I'd better add a new suet cake to the feeder!

I'm so jealous of your woodpeckers Mary! I have them all, just can't get them to come to my suet! What brand do you use if I may ask.
Sorry I missed the caption contest. Sadly not all the pictures will load on my slow computer!
PS I hear a Titmouse outside my window as I type...I think he's telling me to fill my feeder!
