Happy Tuesday


Thank you to our 

Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus  

 Dearest Auntie HiC

We were HAPPY to find the below video 

Mom made as we were heading  from our wonderful trek to the west, we were camped in Mississippi, we alerted Mom to a pair of pileated woodpeckers right out the back window.

By the time she found her phone, the male was out of sight, but the female posed for us❣️ What a treat!
Notice, she doesn’t have a red mustache.

According to Cornell Lab of Ornithology:


Excuse poor video quality. 
This was at the end of our trip & the back window was filthy. 😹




❤️ Kat & Rocky

I loved watching the trek up the tree trunk
Lovingly Auntie HiC

  1. That was nice to be able to film the woodpecker. We have two here and they seem to like our fencing and have pecked several inches out of one of the boards.

    What a wonderful lens capture! Clearly the birdie is listening for the bugs it wants under the bark, stalking like a cat!!! YAM xx

  4. The birds have wonderful red hats, you definitely can't miss them if they are around with that bright color.

  5. Seeing those great big woodpeckers is terrific. We have some right here in our backyard that like to eat our suet. And they are most welcome to it.

  6. Extraordinary: a really special treat to see the "king & queen" of the woodies!

  7. That bird was so close to the camper! Our parents love seeing pileated woodpeckers too. They nest in the woods around our house, but rarely visit our yard, even though we have a big suet feeder they could use.

  9. Oh the birds. So beautiful and I didn't know about the differences in males and females. Thanks for the history lesson.

    You two are so precious and we all know you love each other.

  14. What a super spectacular woodpecker. Well spotted Kat and Rocky's mom.
    And Gail and I love the photo of the two brothers snuggled up close.
    (Not that I, Nobby, would ever get that close to a C-A-T...)
    Toodle-oo!

  15. Pileated woodpeckers are so much fun to watch. We have some regulars here in the Preserve. They are such goofs in the best of ways.

  16. Very pretty birds they are, but woodpeckers can really be a nuisance with the noise of their pecking. It seems like the males of most birds get more of the color than the female.

  18. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. We like woodpeckers most of the time. The only time we don't is when one is pecking on the wood burning stove pipe at daybreak to make the bugs run out from under the flashing, it wakes us up.

  19. They sure are different looking and acting birds. Guess that's what makes them interesting. Thanks for sharing, and for the sweet pics of your 2 sweeties snuggling.
