Family is dropping by tomorrow (FYI, vacuuming and mopping from a walker is not much fun). They want to see birds, so I guess I will find out if birding from a walker is worth the effort. The red headed woodpecker dropped by to say hello. #birds#birding#birdsofmastodon#birdphotography#nature#HoosierMast#woodpecker
Today I have seen a pair of downy woodpeckers, and the female working on her nest hole one tree over from a red-naped sapsucker DIY gent!
Well, maybe not a gent despite his landlordly behavior toward nuthatches. Would a gentleman have to do with his mate where I could see?! 😱 :sapsucker: :sapsucker:
We acquired this steel woodpecker 4 years ago (or maybe 5) at Ancrum. It occupies a half trunk alongside the Borders Abbey Way which runs through our ‘garden’ (wild wild woods). It has weathered very nicely on both sides and is frequently commented on - which is probably because while we have two pairs of woodies in the woods, they are easy to hear and difficult to see.
A #nuthatch sitting atop the feeder pole makes himself look bigger, expanding his wings and swaying back and forth to scare the much larger red-bellied #woodpecker off the suet feeder.
The nuthatch did this several times, but I only caught the last couple of seconds. It's right at the beginning of the video. #birds
This female Downy Woodpecker looks a bit tense, but it's because she's waiting on this branch for her turn at the suet feeder, and I think she's concerned about bigger liner-breakers coming along like the irritable Mockingbird that semi-regularly knocks her off...
I hacked my mechanical keyboard and added a Trackpad. It works nicely!
Cirque Trackpad works nicely with Splinky, an open-sourced MCU with RP2040 in heart, which I built myself. The board is also open-sourced called Woodpecker. Modified by @ozkan due to my request.
I got Codeberg’s CI to build and publish my website when I update the repo. I’m not sure if I’m bad at setting these things up or if it’s finicky and poorly documented…
Woodpecker needs a better way of setting up and handling ssh keys and config.
Good morning everyone, happy Saturday! I'm enjoying the weekend so far and hope you are too. I was in the backyard and got a great picture of a pecker to share, a red bellied woodpecker that is. He was teasing me all morning, so I got my camera out.
Have a wonderful day! We're going to do our errands and maybe the MO Botanical Garden.
