Woody the Woodpecker Visits on National Go Birding Day 2021

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Today is National Go Birding Day. A special thank you to Kathy Streib for the heads up. Maybe that's why we got a visit from Woody the Woodpecker. Well, that's what we called him, but we think it's actually a red-breasted sapsucker.

 

Bernie got a quick little snippet of video too, which isn't always easy with your arms held over your head. Plus, these birds move quickly up and down and around tree trucks. It's almost like they are playing a game, "now you see me, now you don't."  

 


As nature-loving REALTORS®, are both so appreciative that we can "Go Birding" at home. It's one of the many joys of living in ViewHomes of Clark County with Nature As Neighbors! If you too would like to experience this rewarding lifestyle, call us today, we know how to find the gems.

Hi Debb and Bernie,  Thank you for sharing your visit from Woody Woodpecker.  I could hear one today, but could not find him.  All I saw was a couple of robins.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

You too, Bob. Yes, they are easier to hear, than spot. D

It will make for a pretty stamp.  We get a lot of them in or yard, as long as they leave the house alone

Very fun video and catch Debb and Bernie!  We have a very busy woodpecker (not a red headed one) that makes a lot of noise from time to time!  Busy little guy!!

Good morning, Debb and Bernie.
Bernie did a great job with that video!  I have one I'm trying to get to stop pecking at the screen covering the entrance to my soffit. At least he isn't pecking on the house.

Hi Debb... where did you get that USSR stamp? It must be a collectors item by now! At 3 kopeks it was much cheaper than our stamps even in 1979.

Debb,

I love it Debb and Bernie!!!   I've tried so many times but I'm too short to catch them high up in the trees and they move too fast for me!!!   They are always fascinating.

I have an old satellite dish on my roof at the very peak. I have a woodpecker that goes up there and starts pounding on it once or twice a week. You can hear it blocks away Debb and Bernie 🙃

Debb, that is a cute bird, and they do move awfully fast, especially trying to get a video.

Hello Debb and Bernie - I wish I could tell woodpeckers apart! And just as everyone else says, they move waaaay too fast for me to capture a good photo. And as much as I enjoyed the video, I found your choice of audio fun - so highly dramatic, perfect match to the little guy dashing around. Lauren

There is an expression in Maine about a cut over woodlot... that was hammered and clear cut way to hard. "A woodpeck would have to pack a lunch to fly across that woodlot". Love the video!
