Wood Ducks and Woodpeckers in the Hood

Here are a few more glimpses of our backyard and birds of the hood. The Wood Duck's box is in the center tree.  The photo was taken from my bedroom window. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was just to the left of the rail in front.  We were surprised to see the Wood Ducks on the ground. You might not see them in this photo but my binoculars and camera did.  We do get a Piliated Woodpecker and a Red-headed Woodpecker but that is rare.  Like our old neighbor Maude said, If it's not heaven, I wish heaven was like this.

Good night, Barred Owl.  Couldn't resist this beautiful bird.
