Today's small friend is a new species for the yard: a white-crowned sparrow, seen here presenting said crown for inspection.

I put up a suet feeder for the birds this year after buying some in a discount store. It's a nice change since we don't do the bird feeder because the squirrels chewed through the wooden one my father made long ago. The bird feeder now sits on the side as a home for carpenter bees.

And here's an outtake where he showed his dinosaur side and lunged out of frame to attack a house sparrow who landed too close. 😅

Today's small friend is a welcome returning species, but a new individual: a male red-bellied woodpecker. Photographed here in two styles: contemplative and mlem.
