Nice shots Eric. A bird I haven’t managed to get a good shot of yet.
Thx. They are routine (not regular) visitors to us probably the ant infested lawn. Lol

Strangely they often arrive at this time of year and invariably a great spotted woodpecker usually comes within 24 hours. It’s almost as one acts as a scouting party.  The green goes straight to the same location on the lawn. I KNOW there are ants in that area…how do they know? They go straight to that part of the lawn. I can’t believe they can actually see the ants moving about from on high ….but maybe from above the earth disturbances shows a telltale patch?  Very clever birds always land in the exact same location.

The GSW goes for the feeders or our two knarled, half dead apple and cherry trees.


Just looked at exif of a previous visit and it was 11 days later back in 2020..
