At teenage parties
In my younger days we drank
Woodpecker cider
An afternoon of sun and suet is the perfect way to spend a May day.

Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on April 9, 2025
Some of the camera settings I used to make this photo are at: https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2025Apr19_birds_and_cats/2025apr09_woodpecker_IMG_3268c.html
The Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker typically becomes active at 5:39AM, and is the worst bird in North America.
The green forager. Gouache on paper.
I spot green woodpeckers from time to time in our garden, they're so pretty - always cheers me up to see them
and a few other #ThickTrunkTuesday highlights from the same trip, including some still unexplained phenomena(?)
Is it okay to have favorite birds?
Or do I have to enjoy all the birds equally?
I always like seeing the red-bellied woodpecker, I must admit.
"The woodpecker could not be reached for comment."
I could see him at a distance in the tree but I couldn’t get focused. I was super excited when he visited my feeder! New bird sighting!
