Short story version: We have a male Red-bellied woodpecker coming for suet
in Tupperville. He's been here since Tuesday.
Longer story: On both Tuesday and Thursday this week, I heard a harsh
"chrrr" while running out the door for my work commute. I looked in the
direction of the call, but saw only starlings, who are nesting once again in
the front yard electric pole. I knew the sound was that of a Red-bellied
woodpecker (I've been reviewing Stokes bird call CDs during my drive to Keji
every morning to prepare for the song bird monitoring season), but blamed
the starlings and their talent for imitating others. (If I believed their
mimicry, I would think there was a Red-tailed hawk in the yard on a regular
basis!)
This morning I heard the same loud and distinctive "churr"... A stunning
male Red-bellied woodpecker visited our suet feeder. He looks even more
dashing, what with the cherry tree in full blossom (where the suet feeder
hangs). A male cardinal and gorgeous purple finches also decorate this
tree. Photographers welcome!
