Bird Watching & A Sunset
This guy keeps my suet feeder empty.
Or either he has friends who look just like him.
The other day I was watching this European starling at another suet feeder.
He noticed me and flew up into the dogwood tree.
Then it came back, keeping a watchful eye on me.
Then I captured this strange picture.
It must have been shaking its head when I snapped the photo. I did not touch it up with photoshop - other than crop it so you can see it close up.
A cold, cloudy evening created a pretty sunset.
It was an interesting day.

I imagine the woodpecker has a number of friends who like you and your suet feeder! And that's an amazing capture of the starling! I was thinking that I like his feathers better upside down than the normal way, but the shot in the tree must just have a different angle without the white spots. And that's a wonderful sunset! I went out to try to catch the sunset on our snowy mountains, but missed it by a few minutes -- will try again later in the week.
silly bird!
Lovely bird and sunset pictures.
@fwren - Yes, I agree that there is probably more than one male woodpecker in our area. It is amazing how quickly sunsets change. I almost missed his one - and it was prettier a few minutes earlier - when we were coming home from Christmas shopping but I didn't have my camera.
@fwren - @ata_grandma - I have fun capturing birds and sunsets.
our sunset the other day was a pretty blue and pink
how sweet-a woody the woodpecker.
