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!

His Favorite Perch?
I spotted the hummingbird atop the dead elm tree again today. I'm assuming it gives him a great vantage point--as it does for other birds that use it. That is just one more good reason to keep snags on one's property--who would've thought a hummingbird would make use of one.
Now I just have to invest in a telephoto lens...
