Pics I took while I was bird watching outside my house
 

I was kind of bored so I waited outside for the birds to pass and took couple photos. Hope you enjoy:biggrin:

You have some colorful birds in Jamaica. Is the last one a woodpecker? The head looks kind of like the red bellied woodpecker we have here.

Bill

yes it is

some more

We have seen four woodpeckers in our yard - Downy, Hairy, and Red Bellied come to the feeders all the time, and we have a pair of Piliated woodpeckers nesting in a dead tree next door.

Wow! Must be nice seeing all those woodpeckers and their even nesting:)

Great variety and colors! Think some of mine here packed their bags and headed to you!

hahaha:lol:

I especially like the hummingbird! Thanks!

Wonderful!

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

I love the woodpecker, every morning I sit at the kitchen table and watch the woodpeckers at the feeder.
Thanks for sharing your birds

I feel better about the woodpeckers now, but was not happy with the downies earlier.

Our house was built in 1972, and had the original wood windows. Being in a "woodsy" environment, and having 40+ years on them, the wood trim was "iffy", at best, and the peckers were working on them. it was especially irritating right outside of my office.

But, as an early Christmas present to ourselves, we replaced all 31 windows in the house, and there is no more degrading wood trim for them to work on.

No doubt my suet and seed bill will go up as my heating bill goes down.

I love old houses!
Must of been a relief when you got the windows,

Great bird pics. Most of yours seem to have more colour than what we get here. We feed the birds at the lake but the wood peckers still peck at our log cabin and the pine on the roof overhang. So it causes us some grief. It's always a fine balance of being out in the middle of nature but still having to deal with some of what nature does to our homes!

Am I only one that the woodpeckers don't peck my house:biggrin:.

I don't understand why they have to bother our place. We are surrounded by lovely trees that are full of all sorts of insects and rotten holes to peck at. And our logs are treated with a wood stain and the pine is treated, so not sure why they even like it??

The very first morning upon moving into our farm house a large woodpecker pecked on our bedroom window, then went to the other side of the house and pecked that window. In the 17 yrs it has never happened again. It was like "hello" to the neighborhood...our windows are vinyl sided so no reason for the pecks.

Kinda like me hanging around or being tempted by orchids I know I cannot grow...like a moth to a flame!

Beautiful birds! I bet bird-watching in Jamaica is awesome. :D

Ray, Pileated Woodpeckers are probably my favorite of the woodpeckers. I've not seen them much but man when I saw one for the first time many years ago I was in love!!!! And they're so big!

Dillon that is a really cool woodpecker for sure! What is the little yellow bird, a tanager of sorts..or...?

I havent figured out yet what the yellow bird is, but thanks for the lovely comments

Thanks for sharing! Do you need an alarm to wake you up in the morning or the birds are sufficient ;)?

Its always the birds:biggrin:
