A normal spring day at the feeder (see ALT for IDs). in addition, Merlin identified a great crested flycatcher, a red eyed vireo, an American redstart and a Northern mockingbird close to the house, but no luck seeing them.

A female cowbird perches on the rough bark of a tree, blending in very well.
A female cardinal plots her next flight down to the feeder.

It rained all day and was cold. All the usual suspects were at the feeders including the red headed woodpecker, who is now a regular.

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:

Ancrum Arts - 4 years on

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 sitting atop the feeder pole makes himself look bigger, expanding his wings and swaying back and forth to scare the much larger red-bellied 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.

A nuthatch sits on top of a black iron bird feeder pole. There are feeder cages on both arms of the pole. In the center is a suet feeder being enjoyed by a red-bellied woodpecker. The nuthatch spreads his wings, leans forward, and sways back and forth to scare the larger woodpecker off the suet. The nuthatch then climbs down to the suet.

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...

Drama at the feeders. Papa Bluebird is buzzing all the larger birds who are getting too close to his nesting box (which is not too far from the feeders). The male red bellied woodpecker gets the worst of it.

While Papa Bluebird is high in the trees, Mama Bluebird is in the nest box, sitting on eggs. Here, she is poking her head out of the nest box to see what is going on.
This male red bellied woodpecker has just been buzzed by Papa Bluebird. He's like, "WTF, bird?"
The male red bellied woodpecker spreads his wings and takes off from the feeder after getting buzzed again by the bluebird.

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.

The case is a generic 60% walnut one.

Both hardware, including shields and Firmware ( QMK and @zmk ) source could be found at: https://github.com/Ardakilic/woodpecker-keyboard/

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.

First time I've seen one of these guys ... a pileated woodpecker, Banneker Park in Arlington, Va.

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.

A quartet of seen on a recent stop of our ongoing , at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument near Ajo, Arizona. The Sonoran Desert is dry, vast, and surprisingly full of life!

A Gila Woodpecker perched on the green arm of a Saguaro Cactus, next to a newer thorny arm.
A Verdin, small, grey and white with a splash of yellow on its face, perched on the side of a Cholla cactus and its many straight thorns.
A Cactus Wren, uncharacteristically perched on a branch rather than atop a Saguaro Cactus.

It was a beautiful sunny day, but cold. Tonight the temperature will fall to 26F/-4C. Luckily, no snow is in the forecast. Just the usual suspects at the feeders today.

This male black and white downy woodpecker is on the alert. He probably saw another male approaching.
The big flock of bluebirds has dispersed. 1 or 2 male bluebirds have staked out territory around the feeders and are chasing all the others away. Here, a single male bluebird has claimed the mealworm feeder as his.

I haven't seen any migrants at the feeders. The flock of American goldfinches in our yard sing all day. The males are molting into their summer feathers. The females are not as brightly colored, but I think this very pale goldfinch may be leucistic. The downy woodpeckers are chasing each other around the yard and the house finches are numerous and colorful.

When I first saw this bird, I thought it was just a pale female American goldfinch. But now I think this bird may be leucistic. That is condition which is marked by overall pale color or patches of reduced coloring caused by a genetic mutation.
This little black and white beauty is one of the several female downy woodpeckers in our yard.
We have a small flock of house finches in the yard. This guy is a male house finch and he has a red cap and brown and beige feathers.
