Cardinal
I finally figured out that he is trying to attack a rival, his image in the shed window. He does this on the front window, too, and grabs the cats' attention. They are very territorial now, leading up to nesting season.

Hello jenn,
ReplyDeleteGreat critter photos and videos. I love the deer, always a pretty sight to see. The Pileated Woodpecker is a favorite too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
...Pileated woodpeckers are indeed amazing birds. They can tear a tree apart.

ReplyDeleteActually, Jenn, I rather think that Cardinal is catching insects; I see birds here doing this all the time and even have had some at my own window sill. It is not the glass they are going at, but the corners where the wee bugs and spiders nestle. Cardinals do supplement their diet this way for breeding, I believe. YAM xx
I will say, Happy April, but it sure looks sad outside this morning.
ReplyDeleteSo many deer. They sure are lucky to have you two there for them.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever seen photos of that kind of woodpecker. You got great shots!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine seeing that many deer at one time. You new banner is gorgeous with the sun shining through!
ReplyDeleteWonderful vid of the Pileated Woodpecker. I'd jump out of my skin to be that close to one! Deer are so wonderful to see, and your food is helping them survive at this lean time of year.
ReplyDeleteNice pics. Love seeing the pileated woodpecker. I rarely see him up close like your pic.
ReplyDeleteHow I love your critters - which are so very different to any I see here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove the video of the skittish deer and the cardinal. Just wonderful critters in your world.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of Woody!
ReplyDeletebest… mae
Happy April to you.
ReplyDeleteA lovely selection of Saturday critters.
Have a great weekend.
All the best Jan
Love the Pileated Woodpecker. We have some around but seldom see them let alone photograph them.
ReplyDeleteYou wonder what Cinnamon thinks of deer.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most joyful sounds of my day is the male cardinal who sings at the top of the birch in the backyard. It is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteDon't think so, YAM! The insects weren't out that day.
ReplyDeleteHe's been doing this in the front window for a few weeks, too. No bugs there. It scares the cats!
How beautiful!
