The Return.

Well, you know how I said I was going to watch for my crow friends again this weekend? My mom put out some walnuts again and again they came, so that was pretty fun. But then do you know what? A Northern Flicker came to visit today! He was too far away to get a good picture of him, so I got this photo from the National Park Service so you could see how fancy these woodpeckers are. I haven't seen one since 2006, so this was really fun!

My mom was pretty excited to see him too. And beyond that, I helped her read a book and nap this weekend. It was pretty good all the way around.

  3. That is a cool looking bird, Mr. William! We don't know nuffin about birds, so we'll just learn from you! Your weekend sounds pretty good to us. In fact, it's about the same as ours, except my mom didn't read. Have a great week!

  5. oh oh oh!! Mommy LOVES Flickers. We have a paucity of birds here in Vegas unless you go down to the Wash or the wetlands. She goes to Tucson for her birdy fix.

  6. Wow! That is awesome! We haven't had one of those yet. We do get a pileated female woodpecker that stops by in the Spring as she migrates to the park a mile away.
    We have a pilieated feeder, but she won't stay.

    Someone who came into the bird store told her that he gets a male in his yard and he backs up to that park. We think she goes to see him.

    I am glad you're having a nice weekend. My daddy was even off today. It was nice. My mommy is reading a funny book and the main lady has a kitty named "Prozac." We think that is funny funny.

    As for the "Porker" thing. I am totally offended for you. Do you need me to come over for some 3am yowling?

  9. What a cool looking bird! Our feeder has attracted some rather drab birdies this Winter. Three pairs of mourning doves, a hand full of gold-crowned sparrows and some towhees. Yawn.

  11. Gorgeous bird! Full and plump and tasty......

    Pay no attention the the Porko business William. Little sisters can be so vindictive. You are gorgeous in that basket!
