They are so much brighter than a Cardinal. I took a pic of a red headed woodpecker on the suet this evening. I think the deep red on their head is very cool and the sharp bright white on the body and wings against the black. Last edited by Flipper 56; 05/18/20 10:29 PM.

Friday seen the first one ever here in my yard along with an Indigo Bunding. First time ever seen either them right here in yard. Don't know where the bunding took off to only seen him once? The Tanager has been hitting the grape jelly on my wife's oriel feeder. So is hanging out close by some where. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"

That's another really neat bird. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
