Looked out my window…

I looked out my window and what did I see?

The birds have found my feeders and they are loving them. I don’t see the sparrows and finches too often. But almost every time I open my door during the day the thistle sock is spinning because they heard the noise and just took off.

The hummingbirds on the other hand aren’t that skitish and I see them a lot, and up close. It’s amazing!

The other other morning while I was sitting on my patio reading my scriptures, I saw this guy:

A woodpecker! That’s just neat. I didn’t expect to see him.

Yesterday I had to buy a new hummingbird feeder. My old one was several years old and it was starting to leak quite a bit. The ants liked that a lot. I did not. It seemed strange that it would start leaking so out of the blue though because I hadn’t had any trouble with it before. I put up the new one yesterday afternoon. The cashier told me she get bats at her hummingbird feeder. I think that would be cool because they could also eat the evil moths that fly around my patio at night.

This afternoon I looked out my window and didn’t see a hummingbird at the hummingbird feeder. I didn’t see a bat either. I saw the woodpecker!

Silly woodpecker, sugar water is for hummingbirds.

But that might explain why my old feeder started leaking, if the woodpecker made the holes too big.

So tonight I bought some suet for my suet feeder. I’ll put that up tomorrow and see if we can’t convince the woodpecker that he isn’t a hummingbird.
