The birds were plentiful this weekend. I found them to be distracting me from my chores and a good game of scrabble. The robins were especially distracting because there were so many of them flying back and forth. For the first time I saw three downy woodpeckers. Usually I have only two. With three downy woodpeckers vying for the same hunk of suet there was conflict between the two males. I've been so lucky attracting woodpeckers this season. I can't think of any other species of woodpeckers that possibly could come to my yard. I think the northern flicker is an especially handsome bird.
