There was a great deal of bird activity around the feeders today, presumably in advance of the latest winter storm which has now arrived. There were starlings on the feeders for most of the day. - the first time I have seen them here.
I put out a new, large, suet feeder which was soon discovered by a succession of visitors..
The Pileated Woodpecker also flew in but did not succeed in landing on it, so settled for an old fence post instead..
Later he was tapping away on a tree in the garden.
I am still in pursuit of a decent photo but he does not stay still and when close by is very quick to spot any movement at all.
The snow is falling quite heavily this evening and unfortunately, David's flight home from Salt Lake City via Denver has been cancelled, along with many others due to land at Dulles Airport this evening.
He will be spending the night in Houston and hopefully returning here on a flight tomorrow afternoon.
