Almost Patriotic

Had a beautiful sighting of female Hairy (Harriet) woodpecker today. And watched a short drama of a sharp-shinned hawk sitting in the trees waiting for an unsuspecting bird.

                             

We have seen and heard a song sparrow regularly now, calling from the southeast corner of our yard on a regular rotation. A lot of immature white crowned sparrows in our front yard. Not so many in the backyard. What is the attraction out there? Maybe not so much competition.

Happy 4th of July.
