A brown winged female pileated woodpecker has been coming regularly to the feeder. She stands out because usually, pileated woodpeckers have black wings feathers. I don't know the significance of the brown feathers on her wings, but at least they help me tell her apart from the other female pileated woodpeckers. #bird#birding#birdsofmastodon#birdphotography#nature#woodpecker#HoosierMast
This #GreaterSpottedWoodpecker#nestling has figured out that the food comes from outside the hole, it just hasn’t plucked up the courage to go find it…

@karencookphotos Apparently, no woodpecker dies of old age, they usually die of brain damage! Even though their brains are cushioned against the hammering. 😟
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
