This year, I was "complaining" that I have not seen any chickadees, nuthatches, tufted titmice, or woodpeckers. I did see a downy woodpecker last week and a nuthatch recently...and now a red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus). Nice.
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.

Red-bellied Woodpecker
A red-bellied woodpecker showed up today!

Finally Some Variety
Although I've been thrilled to see so many goldfinches (as well as four not-terribly-raucous blue jays that are growing on me and several juncos), I've not noticed the variety of birds I've seen here in the past. I will admit that I have not been watching very often, but when I do those seem to be the only regulars.
Today, however, I spotted a male cardinal and a red-bellied woodpecker. :)
