I love birds and we have been very lucky this year to have many different avian friends drop by our house. I have always been especially fond of Owls and Woodpeckers & we have quite a few of both varieties where we live. Last week DH gave me this wonderful book - it has some glorious photos.
These Downy Woodpeckers are daily visitors to our feeders -they seem to be especially fond of suet.
Northern Flickers are one of my favorites - they also are daily visitors .Highly visible & breathtakingly lovely
I think this is one of the sweetest photos in the book!

Oh what an owl! I wish I could say we had these guys visiting every day! I always tell DH that I wish I could see more owls -he calmly responds " honey, you have to be awake after 10pm to be able to see them.." Oh! yes, well that's a thought!
