This Pretty Woodpecker


After school yesterday, the girls and I walked home. Each day we listen to all the birds singing and they really sing with us. We whistle and chirp and they talk to us.


This beautiful bird walked home with us. She flew to every other tree until we got home. Pecked here and there. As soon as we walked by, she flew to the next tree. It was really amazing how well she interacted with us. 

The woodpecker I posted before was pretty but this was just Gorgeous. Made our walk home so sweet.

Wow, I've never seen a woodpecker! They are beautiful birds! Lucky that you've seen one in your lifetime, they seem to be rare around here.

The woodpeckers I've seen in Canada have been small and they don't have bright colours. The bird you photographed is stunning! How amazing for your kids to have experienced this new "friendship". I think nature will always provide the most meaningful moments in our lives!!!
Thanks for sharing.

I think it's an Irish bird. Where you in Ireland?

That is so beautiful! Anna would have loved to have seen that. We love to see birds of all kinds. I love the red on the head.

Hey, thanks for putting my button on your blog, that was super- nice!

Oh wow! It's not very often you get to see a woodpecker up close (well not in my experience anyway!). I once had a stork follow me home when I was living in Germany. It flew at eye level right alongside our car. I'm not sure what it was thinking, but it sure was cool :)

Wonderful pictures - You wouldn't even notice him in some of the pictures if his head wasn't red :-)
