Desert Bird


I spied this dude (or dudette) hanging upside down from our feeder yesterday to grab a choice morsel. According to our bird books, it's a red-shafted flicker of the woodpecker family. It's a large bird and apparently likes peanut butter suet blocks. Well, who wouldn't. The birds seem dusty (and thirsty fershure!) so a birdbath is planned for the Benjey campsite.
