Loves grape jelly! (tap/click to enlarge)
He is curious,
about the human who puts jelly in palm trees.
The jelly is for orioles.
But forget acorns,
Acorn Woodpeckers,
want jelly,
in their belly!
Cheers to you from The Holler Woody~

Touched by your thoughtfulness Gigi. Thank you sincerely my friend & be well α
Beautiful captures Cindy, of a very beautiful bird. We do not have wood peckers here, I think our hardwood trees might be too much of a challenge for them π
Thank you Ashley and agreed, Oz has enough fascinating birdies, woodpeckers would be too much! π They really are the most amazing birds. They can remember where they hide 2000+ acorns for years α
Thatβs amazing how they remember their winter stashes. I have been studying bird intelligence and behaviour some of the recent research is fascinating Cindy.
Yes. I find the sense of self or awareness studies super interesting.
Fabulous photos, Cindy. Woody is such a vibrant bird! β₯.
Thanks much Niki. He is quite the looker isn’t he! α
Wow Cindy, your photos are incredible! A beautiful bird. β€οΈβΊοΈ

Wow, Cindy! Your photos are so incredible. What beautiful captures of this lovely bird.
Aww… So kind and so appreciated Lynette. Happy you like the QT! α
Amazing Cindy β€οΈ
Thank you very much α
Beautiful. I like grape jelly too!
You are in excellent company Jim & thanks much π
The only way to get me to pose for a photo is grape jelly, too! Great work, Cindy!
Laughing….. It would work for me too! Thanks much & cheers α
Aren’t you unexpectedly fascinating! Jelly in trees. If you ask me, adorable. Drawing outside the lines – a charming attribute. Beauty pictures too, of course.
BTW no way to say thanks for likes, but don’t think I don’t notice you. Likes back. Although I’m hard to make shut up.
Happy you enjoyed Neil. You click more birdies with jelly than with seed! α
Very nice shots! πππ
Merci beaucoup α
Cindy, the quality and clarity of your photographs are so inspiring. These are beautiful to look at!
Honored and humbled. Thank you sincerely Anne. I so look forward to seeing your magical world through your amazing eyes α

Great pictures ! I am keeping an old tree on the land as the same kind
of woodpecker as yours comes yearly and makes a home there. Great sound.
How good of you to do this! They do make the most wonderful sounds α
How kind of you to leave some grape jelly out for the woodpecker! We have one in the orchard across the road, I love hearing him in the morning.
We have woodpecker alarm clocks too! Great Horned Owls & frogs for night symphony and woodpeckers for our morning wake up call! Love it too α
Great collection of portraits, Cindy!
Much appreciated Steve. Thank you α
Fabulous images Cindy and so lovely to see Woody enjoying the jelly too! π
Thank you & very happy you enjoyed! α
We have two types of wodpeckers here and they are so fun to watch, and I love seeing them with the babies. π
I have never found a nest. I would love too. They nest here by the oak groves lining the sides of the creek and the nests are too high to see α
I haven’t seen babies that small, I’m talking when they first come out and the parents are feeding them.
I would love to see this too!
Fabulous captures, Cindy π
Thanks very much Cathy α
the varieties of woodpeckers up here, are loving a bird product we have up here called butter icing*, I smear it on the bark.. they watch me, and as soon as I back away, they are dropping over to inspect and dine. (the other mfg. calls it nut butter) I do it only in the winter/late fall …
I will check out the butter icing. Amazing we both do the same thing with the trees! Small world α
Dear Cindy

Beautiful photos!
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Alethea α
Amazing pictures. Heβs so cute. I love the one where heβs looking towards the camera and the one with the jelly on his beak.
You are very observant. Happy you enjoyed Donna & thanks much α
What a handsome (and charming!) fellow, jaunty with his little red cap.
He is dressed for every occasion! π

And no sign of Buzz Buzzard, which is always a good thing! Terrific shots.
Smiling…. Thanks much Ray α
The pictures are awesome closeup’s.
Grazie mille α

Beautiful and funny!
Smiling. Thank you! α
Beautiful Acorn Woodpecker.
He is a looker! α
They are such handsome birds! π I’m glad you didn’t show their acorn stashes…that would have severely triggered my trypophobia. LOL!
Glad I didn’t post that either. I don’t want to be triggering. Take good care my friend α
I have weird neuroses…LOL! π

Wonderful
Thank you Derrick α
Wonderful plumage

Absolutely Cindy

Beautiful photos Cindy! And yay for curious woody and jelly in the belly!
Smiling. I like jelly in my belly too. Take good care Brad & thank you α
Fantastic close-ups of a gloriously flamboyant bird, Cindy.
He is dressed for success isn’t he! Thanks my friend & cheers α
Well who’s not to like grape jelly Cindy?
Lovely photos..

So beautiful! Great shots
Thanks so much & cheers my friend α
Just adorable! I’m sure the orioles don’t mind sharing with their friends.
The Jelly Tree is now hosting so many species at a time. It is incredible. I am having loads of fun taking photos of all them because you rarely see so many species together. Happy you enjoyed & thank you α
This woodpecker is so happy. That bird is staring at you. .beautiful images. Anita
Birds are avid people watchers! Every time I fix my lens on one they are already looking at me. It is uncanny. Thank you much Anita & be well my friend α
Everyone has already said all the “wow” things, but I have to add mine to the crowd. When I saw the first images, I said it out loud. “OH, WOW!” Great photos, Cindy.
I love your wow! Thank you sincerely. Makes me happy I posted. Cheers to you α
Uno stupendo esemplare ripreso da varie angolazioni nella sua spettacolare bellezza.
Buona serata,silvia
Buonasera Silvia! Sono cosΓ¬ felice che ti sia piaciuto questo bellissimo uccello. Grazie amico mio e saluti a te! α
Excellent photos, Cindy. What a handsome guy! π
He is always dressed for success! Cheers & thanks Eliza α
Great portrait shots! When I put my hummingbird feeders out they have to share with the woodpeckers so I am not surprised that they like grape jelly.
How interesting. I have never seen a woodpecker on the hummingbirds feeders. Interesting how bird behavior varies by locale. Happy you enjoyed & cheers to you α
I love the sound of a woody woodpecker. You have captured their beauty and personalities.
They are always rattling around The Holler! I love them too. Thanks much Rebecca & take good care α
Was fΓΌr wunderschΓΆne Fotos und VΓΆgel.
Sehr geschΓ€tzt Marie. Vielen Dank & Prost auf Sie α
I love these noisy guys! They are now very active over here in Bavaria, too.
Have a fine time and stay safe, dear Cindy!
Thank you Martha. They are wonderful aren’t they, although I read about a family that found thousands of acorns in their attic. That would not be so wonderful! Cheers to you and take good care α
You are the Birdwoman of Sleepy Hollow, or wherever. Burt Lancaster would be jealous.
The Birdwoman of The Holler! Laughing….. Loved ‘The Birdman of Alcatraz’ α
Wonderful!
Grazie mille Jennie α

LOL! What a beauty, belly and all, Thanks for the great shots, Cindy!
I found you! Not in spam thank God. Possibly there is a delay now in posting comments? Thank you Resa & stay well my friend α
Whew! I have delays on a coupe of blogs, so I won’t panic next time! α α α
Good.
Egads. I don’t see my comment? Am I inSpam?
Love this and the wonderful photos. I did not know about the jelly and Orioles. Learned something new today.
Turns out blue-jays, grosbeaks, mocking birds, orioles, woodpeckers and myriads of other birdies love grape jelly too. I now have a Jelly Tree with so many species feasting at a time, it is incredible. I learn daily too, from the birdies! Cheers to you Marlene α
They sure can make some noise hammering away from 3 AM to 5:30 AM robbing you of those last precious hours of sleep before having to get up for work. They’re no friends of mine.
That sounds terrible frustrating and stressful. I’m sorry.
I LOVE this guy!!!
I α my friends who α woodpeckers Jill!
Such a cool looking fellow!!!!
He is a dapper dude! π
Hmm Iβm fascinated by Pope Woodyβs persPECKtive on life. Lol!
πβΉββ( Υΰ¨ Υ)βββΉπ
He is a peckish pope bird! π
Indeed! ππ

Gorgeous bird! Is that a male hairy woodpecker? We have three visit our feeders/suet – downy, hairy, and red-bellied.
None of the above. He is an acorn woodpecker. We have flickers too, but none of your species. I would love to see them α
He is so beautiful! We have a Red Headed Woodpecker in our neighborhood. He was in our front tree, right outside our window, on Sunday. He was a delight to watch!
They are incredibly fun birds to watch. Happy you have the opportunity & cheers to you α
What a nice bird and picture. It looks a little bit unusual for me on a palm tree trunk.
Fantastic pictures again!
Thank you X2!! αα
Hi Cindy, thank you once more for you stunning photographs!
You are so very welcome my friend. Stay safe & well α

I can’t blame Woody, Cindy. Jelly in the belly is a good thing!
We are in perfect accord π
I do like how you tell a story in pictures Cindy π
I am so happy you do Denzil. Thank you! α
His colors and patterns are gorgeous! How did you ever think of grape jelly?
I don’t blame them! Jelly sounds much more fun than acorns!
I’m a jelly belly myself…. π

Wonderful captures! Little one stuck around for some photogenic ops!
Thanks very much & yes! They love their close ups! π
Cindy, these photos are even more splendid than usual. The colors, the clarity… and you really captured its personality. Hugs on the wing.
Ahh, so kind and so appreciated Teagan. Cheers to you & take good care my friend α
Your close-ups of this gorgeous woodpecker are wonderful, Cindy. How funny that they also enjoy the jelly you hid for the orioles. I have also learned that there are many birds with a sweet tooth (beak). π
That brilliant red crest! It’s unmistakable. Your photos capture their remarkable look and personality.
I’m always surprised to see how big woodpeckers are. For some reason, I tend to think they’re these little wee birds.
So happy you enjoyed & thank you. Yes, they are big birdies! α
Hilarious! I have much in common with grape jelly loving woodpeckers!!
Laughing….. So do I! α
I love it, who doesn’t like grape jelly. Great images, Cindy.
Smart birdies, go for the jelly! π
Such a thoughtful little bird face! Love these shots. How did you get so close?
Thanks much Bridgette. These shots were taken from around 15 feet α
