We had a pair of these, male and female, in our yard this morning climbing up and down a tree trunk. The black-wite-red combination made them striking to see.
But sheik? Like Arab leader? Those are male ... Sorry for not getting the connection. Maybe chic?
Dear Betsy, your pictures of birds are really amazingly perfect! I appreciate your skills as a photographer as well as the beauty of the birds very much! Not to forget about your humour! Your words often make me laugh. Thank you very much for sharing all your precious gifts! Christel
Thanks, Christel. I think I've just lucked out in the location of my desk window and where I've put the feeder. It gives me lots of opportunities to snap that great photo. It sure has become a fun hobby and I love that you're enjoying it with me!
Great photo!!! She's so cute. I also love all of your bird photos they're amazing.
I discovered you're blog just a few months ago, and I spent a number of evenings going all the way through it. Great posts and your humour is my kind of humour. Your blog is such a wonderful place to visit!!!
Chris ~ thanks so much for letting me know you are reading! How very fun...and if you have my kind of humor, that just means I'll enjoy your blog, too! Can't wait to come and say hello! :)

What I really want are blue birds! I've never seen one in my yard!
DeleteI have had several woodpeckers at my feeders this week. This one is a beauty with her classic black and white.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have one with the long red head and plume. I don't know if they are in Ohio, though.
DeleteGreat photo! She is so pretty, I imagine she will have suitors soon.

The kitties think she's pretty, too! But she's too fast for them!
DeleteShe is so pretty and reminds me of one of your drawings. Very cute. Hope all is well with the bird feeders and the squirrel is still staying away.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
She would be a fun one to draw! I haven't drawn anything in so long! :(
DeleteYes, she is very stylish in her black and white. Perhaps she won't be dining alone long. ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI think she is, too! I'll let you all know if a mister comes along. :)
DeleteBirds are amazing. I really love watching them. And the colors are also incredible.
ReplyDeleteEven sparrows are different.
Oh, me too...as you know! ha. Yes, there are so many different kinds of sparrow...each a little different!
