I was only going to do my one dish, but put a suet cage and a couple woodpecker blocks on today's grocery delivery.  Considering where to put it - part of me thinks hanging it off the porch would be safer from other animals, but hanging it on the fence to the dog's area is more visible to the birds. Also I don't really want them hanging out under the porch for mess. 

Two additional doves in the yard this morning! Despite the fact that the feed is cheap and has a lot of corn, that corn is getting eaten now. 

I also have a "new" bird found by my Merlin app, the white-breasted nuthatch.  I was able to pick it out after the app popped up the name, it was sort of hanging on the side of a tree.

Pileated Woodpecker


Sat afternoon, hanging out on the trees just the other side of the fence.

This is only the 3rd time I've spotted this bird, let alone got clear enough photos to positively identify them, here at Five Oaks.

Next to the Red Headed Woodpecker and the Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, these are the hardest Woodpeckers to get photos of here. I swear they know when you're trying to get a photo of them. Heh.

Today is partly sunny and mild. It's the first day this month that I've really seen sunbeams, at least some of the time. :D

I fed the birds. I've seen a female downy woodpecker on the suet cage.

EDIT 1/23/23 -- I walked around the yard more.  Daffodils are sprouting under the big maple at the edge of the south lot.  Crocus and some other bulb, possibly grape hyacinths, are sprouting in the purple-and-white garden; so is the sedum there, although the sedum in the septic garden is not up yet.  Comfrey is leafing out under my apricot where the fly-through feeder is, that's my miner plant, which attracts swarms of bees in summer.
