Gila Woodpecker (Melanerpes uropygialis)

Looks like he is listening to the village loudspeaker :))

:-) I think it was watching me wondering if I will chase him of the hummingbird feeder. But you are right it does look like in this picture like it is listening to "something".

...I meant these flowers of the bird feeder look like small microphones. Sticki is also recording birds she observes :))

That is very clever.
I just bought an app from iPod with a list of birds and it includes their songs.

:)) You are very young then! I do not have time to study how iPod works and I am afraid, it interests me less, then if for instance there is water on Mars. I am unpractical. But maybe it is also the sign of an old age. Somewhere I read, that a woman can recognize that she is old in the moment when she is not able to differentiate between IPod and IPhone. Here I am :))

H Klahanie...
this is a good close-up photo, showing how the bird can cling on tightly while feeding. Nice one ...

Katarina, we all have different talents and interest. I bet that your knowledge in music is much better than mine.

Thanks for the comment Terra. They can be very acrobatic and fun to watch.
