  3. I hate woodpeckers - such loud little fellas. I was always more partial to Wrens myself.

    Great pic though.

  10. Is there no red because she's female? I heard the males in most animals are the most colorful.

  14. Lovely picture. I noticed the other day that the view of my suet feeder has a branch in the way. That's a must move. I haven't had the time to watch birds because I'm working now and I miss it so badly.
