There were some chickadees in the trees at the Lambton Woods/James Gardens border.
We put some peanuts down on a picnic table to bring them in and had this surprise visitor!

The last shot actually shows how this bird gets it's name.
Only a few times have I seen the red belly of a red bellied woodpecker.
Nice catch.

Thanks everyone!
Moira, I found fresh handiwork last week but have not seen the Pileated itself.

It's a good sign!  I hope to get to Lambton soon - maybe on Christmas holidays.

I might/hope get to Lambton this week.  Christmas stuff keeps me busy and not going anywhere but out in the yard.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
