Woodpeckers etc.

We get lots of woodpeckers at the feeders, especially downy and hairy woodpeckers. These two look a lot alike except the hairy is bigger. And we get the pileateds, although I haven't seen them for a while. Yesterday Peggy mentioned that she had been seeing a couple of red-headed woodpeckers at her feeder. I still haven't seen them here, but this morning I did see one on a telephone pole between our house and Jerry's. Yesterday afternoon I saw the blue heron down at the pond. Today there was a northern flicker at the feeder. What with my first eagle, it has been a good birdwatching week.
