A small black and white woodpecker on a bare tree branch against a bright clear sky.

I saw this bird while walking home from the library. The other birds around here are also getting more active and noisy, even though there's still most of a foot of snow on the ground and more predicted this weekend.

No matter how hard it rains I don't think I've ever seen a bird looking wet before but this Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) that visited one of my feeders today looked distinctly damp!

This beauty was on the canal lock picking through the moss for goodies today.

Great spotted woodpecker

We had been wondering why our circular fat ball feeder was still being decimated despite the weather having warmed up. Mystery solved!
