One More Bird

One more bird picture. This is a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker. He's a type of woodpecker. He loves our Maple tree in the front yard. He drills a row of holes around the tree and then goes back and sucks the sap out. He only hangs out here in the winter.

Great Backyard Bird Count

This weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count. Here's the link if you want to add your backyard count: http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/. So, I counted 15 different types of birds this morning in my backyard and probably two dozen birds at one time. I took some pictures, but they don't really like me doing that. I don't have a very good zoom on my camera so I have to stand outside where they see me. Only the brave ones will come around while I'm out there.
You can click on the pictures for a slightly bigger view.



Here's a Carolina Wren.


I think this is a Pine Warbler. He's new to my backyard this year.


This is a Red Bellied Woodpecker.

This guy wouldn't look at me, but he's a Towhee.


This is a White Breasted Nuthatch. They are the ones that walk down trees head first.
