This week's featured birds are a Red-bellied Woodpecker and Dark-eyed Junco.
I typically watch and count birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 15-16 January 2022.
The weekend started off with a really neat sunrise.

I prefer the Zebra-backed Woodpecker to the Red-bellied Woodpecker…💯❣️
Thank you for sharing this informative video! 🤗👍
The sunrise is really beautiful and as always your birds are beautiful. I always say that our planet is very beautiful, it's a pity that we don't appreciate it enough.
Taking time to enjoy what is all around us is important from time to time.
Hive On!!
