Well sorta...
I missed my birdies..This is a male Northern Flicker.
See his mustache?
For those of you who may not know ,
I had to take my feeders down...or rather, a bear did it for me.
The ground is too frozen to put up another pole.
I thought I would hang some suet since he didn't seem interested
in it when he was here....he preferred the seed.
It has been up for two days.
Mr Flicker is my first taker..Welcome.
The Northern Flicker is part of the Woodpecker family
and is the only migratory Woodpecker.
They are commonly known as ground feeders.
It's nice to see !!
I am not aware of any more bear sightings.
Too early for seed??
Linking with Stewart..Wild Bird Wednesday..

Welcome back, birds!
What a pretty bird! Never seen a flicker of any kind before. Can see the resemblance to a woodpecker. Have a good day, Missy!
Darn bears . . .
Showing up in Michigan too, near Traverse City!
Happy your bird found the “Suet Bar!”
