I couldn’t do another post on Holler birds without including The Holler Hummers could I?
The year-round hummers are mellow and co-operative.
Right, and I am the Queen of Bavaria!
We have oak groves full of all sorts of birds including droves of Acorn Woodpeckers in their smart red pope caps.
There are Western Scrub Jays,
who don’t like being photographed,
and very shy Western Bluebirds,
who like it even less!
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.” (Emily Dickinson)
Cheers to you from your Holler feathered friends~

Just to add to my comment, Cindy: because of the composition – imagine it as a painting… I like no. 5 too.

Perfection. Never seen an acorn woodpecker before.

I am working on getting another woodpecker who is really rare, only 200 known to be in California. I think the count is off because I have seen at least 8 here and they are not known to be here!

That’s great news – sometimes we see odd things too like Great Horned owls. We have seen the giant woodpecker but not lately.

Each of the birds is a color that you have taken out of your eyes to enjoy it as a poem that comes only.
