This Red-bellied Woodpecker was molting. It is harder to tell in this photo, but she will grow back vibrant, beautiful colors soon.

Tree Sweeper
You have to love a Downy Woodpecker inspecting for lunch like a total pro. A true tree sweeper—and honestly, way better at finding grubs than I am at finding my keys!

A Portrait of a Red-Headed Woodpecker
I waited patiently, hoping to capture a better shot, but he simply wasn't having it. He has been visiting this feeder quite often recently.

Climbing
We have a lot of water. The rain has been intense for most of the week. The rivers and streams are full to overflowing. The birds don't make some rain but wind seems to be a problem.
