Back for Winter

During the summer months, many birds temporarily move into the woods to stay cool.  Downy Woodpeckers are one of them.  Now that the weather is changing, one female Downy Woodpecker returned to check on the suet supply in my backyard.  Actually she stopped over a couple times earlier when I did not have any suet hanging.  After that I jumped into making suet for her next visit.

The other day she showed up at the branch.  Thanks for your patience.  I was too pokey this autumn.

"I am back!"

"Finally I found some before anyone else finishes it up."
