Wild Wild Woods: woodpecker

The female Red-bellied Woodpecker Melanerpes carolinus was at the feeder this morning. She is among the guild of woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, cardinals, juncos, finches, and bluejays that hang out in the wild woods.

About this blog "Wild Wild Woods"

Through 2018, the posts on "wild wild woods" were photos taken in my bird garden and a set-aside strip of land that was the old fence row when the suburban lots in my neighborhood were farmed land. That wooded area sheltered a variety of plants and wildlife among the trees, understory, and a brushpile.

Now, my windows look out on a pond.

My new location is another former farm field that became a neighborhood. Fortunately, the wetland was preserved. It includes a pond surrounded by wildflowers, grasses, reeds, and a few trees.

I am pleased to observe and enjoy these places for birds, critters, and plants of central Minnesota.
