Woody and Wilma


The other day I noticed a hairy woodpecker in the tree in front of the house.  As I asked the children to come and see I heard a pecking noise on the front of my house.  When I opened the door to look another woodpecker flew to the tree.



Daniel said it was "Woody".  He has a little red spot on his head.  Since it was a male/female pair the children wanted to name the female.  She does not have a red spot on her head.  We came up with the name Wilma.



We never did get a picture of Woody.



They were there eating from the suet feeder for about 15 minutes.  We got a great view from our new windows and doors.  What a treat it was to watch these two woodpeckers.
