The Dangers of Country Living
We are not at all popular with this fine feathered friend (!). Apparently there is a junior version learning to fly by the arena and so everytime we train, mom is trash tweeting and threatening to impale us on her sharp little beak. It is a little unnerving to have her flying so low but so far it has been idle threats. Anyone know what she is (besides really mad)???

Looks like a woodpecker, and I think they are called Downy woodpeckers? But the boys, I think, are the one's w/the red spots on the back of the head. Not sure if I spelled it right, but it sure looks like some type of woodpecker to me!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa--I think it's a Downy woodpecker. And in woodpecker circles, their bill is considered fairly short. Do you have a spark arrester on your chimney? We used to have a neighborhood pileated woodpecker (think: Woody the Woodpecker sized) that liked to start each morning by pecking a tattoo on the can!
ReplyDeleteI third the opinion - Downy woodpecker.
