My Grand Debut!
Today, while doing some birdwatching, I was thrilled to see this juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker making its grand debut! We've been waiting anxiously for weeks, hoping one would show up, and today was the day, visiting multiple times!
While its attempt to land on a small feeder filled with a mixture of sunflower seeds, pepper treated seeds and nuts was an epic fail, it has clearly mastered the suet log, and this swing feeder!
During the time I spent birdwatching, it visited this swing several times, and I grabbed as many shots as possible. This was my favorite shot, holding that trophy nut up high for all to see.
OK, I also like that squirrel trying to photobomb the shot, too.
