Mary Anne, Wishing you a year of birds, butterflies and flowers. Thank you for all the pleasure and happiness you gave me this year with your beautiful pictures.
looks like my woodpecker, he takes a sunflower seed and sticks it in a hole he made in my palm tree. He pecks it until it breaks, eats the seed and pulls out the shell. He does this over and over again. Over the summer he taught his baby how to do this.
Happy New Year to you, Mary Anne and thanks for all the ways you add to my life. (The butterfly count still has me mesmerized!). Fondly,
Patricia
Hope to see you soon!
Happy New Year to you too. Thank you for sharing your amazing photos and love of our natural world.

They’re beautiful and fun to watch. A couple of springs ago I watched a male downy woodpecker teach his offspring the wonders of a bird feeder: https://the-natural-web.org/2012/06/08/juvenile-downy-woodpeckers-learn-to-forage-for-food/
