Aside from a fine morning birding, I happened to be at home this afternoon and looked out the window at the feeder scene. And to my wondering eyes I did see.the Northern Flicker turned into a Red-bellied Woodpecker. Female. She fed on the ground almost long enough for me to get my camera. Had a male last year. So do I miss them on a regular basis or did I just get super lucky ? What we miss when we aren't home. Birded w/ JoSu today at Bradford Depot. My first Least Flycatcher, Co.Yellowthroat, Am. Redstarts, Ea. Kingbird, White-cr. Sparrows (like everyone else), and Gray Catbird. Nice No. Waterthrush at Kendal Station.
