[ByrdBrainBBW@xxxxxxx]

Hello  everyone. I can't remember the last time I posted.  It was a busy 
summer, and unfortunately  I did not get to do much  birding away from the 
house. 
But I did have some wonderful yard visitors. 
 
My favorite residents are the woodpeckers, and the pair of  Hairy Woodpeckers 
that live in my yard were one of the highlights during the  spring and 
summer. They got bolder and bolder and would come to the feeders  right outside 
the 
windows, with their fledglings in tow, giving me excellent  views of them as 
they fed their young, and some great photo opportunities.  Absent for the first 
time this year was the return of the Red-headed's though. I  had enjoyed them 
all summer long for the past 7 years, and this year  I really missed seeing 
those flag birds.
 
This week I've had a Red-breasted Nuthatch at the feeders, and  today I had a 
pair of Gray Catbirds drinking from the ground bath, which were  new yard 
birds for me. I was able photograph both. 
 
I'm looking forward to seeing who stops by  tomorrow!
