I don't often have time to take pictures in the back yard but there is always much activity out there. I saw the red head of a woodpecker in one of the pecan trees so I grabbed the camera and quietly went out the door. As I chose a position behind the garage and started snapping pictures, there was movement in another tree beside me. There were 3 different species of woodpeckers out there at the same time.  I am using a digital camera but zooming up too much loses quality. I think they still are pretty good shots...

It is interesting that the red bellied woodpeckers do NOT have a red belly. It seems like these should be red headed woodpeckers but the red headed woodpecker has a full red head all the way to the top of the wings

opps! I had the sparrows labeled as Wrens!

I love watching the little creatures.

Sharons aka Snow Whites ffeder just after she restocked yesterday. They watch for her and follow her from feeder to feeder.

She has not but ive thoguht that would be fun. Im sure she would rather try when it warms up some. Im home today and shot some of these in the backyard.

Beautiful little Eastern Bluebird

The other bird was down at the lake as I came home today and I haven't looked up the kind. I think a crane or heron
