Yesterday a rainy day and lots of activity in the yard . The birds and critters love the rain .
This guy is very skittish and it has taken me a few years to be able to get shots like this . He was just outside our back door so I hid and made no sounds and was able to finally get a few decent shots !
Northern Flicker click name for info !
Member of the Woodpecker family !
They love to hammer the ground with their beaks deep and sup up all the ants , as their beaks are in the ground their long tongue slurps up the ants they do this on trees through the bark as well !
Lots of rain drops on my laundry line ! I like photographing rain drops !
Spring flowers are blooming here more now after yesterdays rain . The sun is shining this morning and it looks to be a nice day !
Miggs and I are off for our walk soon !
Until next time . Thanks for popping by !

Cool shots of the flicker, your patience has paid off. We're still buried in snow. Predicting a melt next week. Hope so!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the rain drops.
Love the flicker, haven't seen one in our garden yet. It is nice today and we are just taking a break from working outside.
ReplyDeleteHello Elaine girl .. we had rain later that day and evening and it did the garden so much good .. especially after I had transplanted the tree and a few perennials .. it was a good thing I did it when I did!
ReplyDeleteNow I too have topsoil to lay down and loads of mulch as well .. good weather on the horizon so I can get this work done ! LOL
Cute bird pictures .. and rain drops on the clothes line ;-)

ReplyDeleteRaindrops are always a fun subject, I agree.i like taking reflection photos after a rainstorm.
ReplyDeleteBy the way that previous comment fron Anonymous looke like you got spammed, Elaine. You would think these people would have better things to do. I delete them and usually they get caught in the spam folder under Comments in Blogger.
