It’s late #spring / early #summer

I put out a lot of #BackyardWildlife feed, for Linus’s entertainment & my own.

I’ve posted some videos here including the #NorthernFlicker #Woodpecker mating dance, & a bunch with #squirrels, #chipmunks & #birds getting up close & personal with my super-mellow old man #Linus. Here are a few more.

First up, momma #Grackle feeding baby Grackle.

Northern Flickers. Large woodpeckers that tend to be in our area year-round. We see two subspecies (Red-shafted and Yellow-shafted). The markings are distinct, but you have to look fast, since these are always on the move. The ranges of the two overlap in our area.

Pretty cool. I just got to watch the #NorthernFlicker #Woodpecker’s courtship dance!

Video gets better after about 15-20 seconds.

At first I only saw one of the birds & thought it was injured. Then the other kept so low I wondered if it was a young bird. Then it became pretty obvious that it was a mating ritual. Anyway, sorry for my voice over musings.
