every day I see downy, hairy and red bellied woodpeckers on the suet. Sometimes I see a chickadee or a white bellied nuthatch.

Just started birding this year and live a mile from the forest.

I'm having so much fun. I can't wait until spring migration!

It's a whole world I never noticed. It was always there. Calms me a bit with all the evil going on.
