This fellow was at the feeders when we got our one and only big snow. I decided he was a yellow bellied sap-sucker....not positive but he did have a belly tinged with yellow. It was taken through my window...and the photo is cropped.
It is supposed to warm up next week...if it does, I plan on at least washing these two windows here in the dining room. Maybe I can get better photos then.

I did not touch my sewing machine yesterday. We ran to Terre Haute...I did birthday shopping for Lorelei and Roger did a little bit of shopping at Gander Mountain. That is a sporting goods store in case you didn't know.
We may get out and go for a much needed drive later on...it has been ages since we have been on one. Just need to decide where to go.
I think it's a great shot Rose. I had a boss back in Illinois who was from Terre Haute, and her mother still lived there, but now I heard she's living up where we used to live.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweetie all fluffed up to keep warm
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a Yellow Bellied to me too. Maybe a juvenile female. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteHe DOES look like a sapsucker! We had one that came to our big maple tree every day. He drilled rows of holes all around the tree, at each hole stopping to take a big long sip, then poop. We eventually had to cut the tree down. Wish we had a suet feeder then!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your ride, Rose! I feel like I need a good few hours of time with my husband and my camera.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of him! If I didn't know how far apart we live from each other, I would swear it was the same fat fluffed up little sapsucker I had here. I think they look like dirty downys, but it sure looks a lot prettier in your shot.
ReplyDeleteHe's a pretty one! I just refilled my feeders today. It's fun to take day trips...have fun when you go!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bird~ and I need to clean some windows too. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI love this Rose!!!
