Hey Steve ~
What a beauty! Thanks for being an awesome "caregiver". I used to have lots of various Grosbeaks in my yard.
Not so many the last several years. Michelle informed me that numbers of Flickers have declined. Used to see them often, now none.
I miss all those guys. Normal? to have species vacate habitats? Or is it competition and predators?
I do see an abundance of Crows, Stellar Jays and Magpies. They seem to be the "ruling gang".
They even go after Rudiger's rabbits!
Looking forward to hearing Our Bird's happy songs in the forest!
