Hello Birders,
At 10 AM today, at my Charlotte Park home in West Nashville, a male downy
woodpecker landed on top of my hummingbird feeder. He inspected it for a
moment, saw me reach for my camera, then fled! Wonder if he thought it was
water
or if he actually wanted a little sugar in his system? My birds' water
supply is just below and to the left of the hummingbird feeder. My downys do
take
in orange fruit and grape jelly, as well as peanut butter once in a great
while.
I'm having a pretty good run of female and immature hummingbirds and have
even had one or more males yesterday & today.They are such little gems of
birds. I always love having them here.
