All of God's Creatures......and more.
Northern Ohio....lots of friends and more.
Brother Bill is so happy he can get the old 1937 "B" started. He restored it from parts in boxes and such. Never could start it properly. Here comes the manual. Some wise advice from an old mechanic:perhaps it is the timing. So careful study of the manual seemed confusing. The camshaft gear must be meshed with the the markings. Two cogs and Presto! it fired. Now it starts with one turn of the flywheel.
Wrong shade of green. But it works so much better and faster than "Rock and Tom" did. One needed to feed them oats and Timothy hay. Harness them. Hitch to the plow or wagon. Talk to them nicely. Or maybe even get their attention with a whip before the work would be accomplished. Quite smelly they are no matter what. They are plain stinky. If you tease them too much they could get right belligerent. SO treat them nice. They have a powerful kick!
Species: The Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) is an eastern North American bird species, whose western
and northern ranges are expanding more every year. This woodpecker is becoming a more common visitor, seen at bird
feeders in the winter months in Canada.
Distinctions: The male and female are almost identical. The difference being the male has a complete red crown a nape, whereas, the female has only a red nape. Although, the Red-bellied Woodpecker received its name for having red belly, the red is very difficult to see, which is located between its legs. Both sexes have black and white uniform barring down their backs and wings.
Voice: Has more of a call than a song, the male communicates to the female, by drumming on dead twigs, limbs or hollow branches.
Nesting: Four to five white eggs, one to three broods per year, depending on the regions of the birds. Larger broods generally takes place in the more southern regions. Nest are located in tree cavities, which are also used as their roost.
Now explain this please. Who taught them how to feed their young?
A Downy Woodpecker was sharing the same feeder and tree
Yep. I helped clean out the barn. Hauled manure to the field. Next day ran the disc over that are twice. Ground looks like it may be about ready if it dries a bit more......OH Wait! It rained another inch or so since then.
Planting delayed again. When will it pause raining in Northern Indiana????? Churubusco has had enough for right now Lord!
Backyard feeder for the Baltimore Orioles. Seems they take after jelly. Some eat slices of oranges.
Quite fascinating to see a nest like a bag hanging from a branch perhaps mostly in very high branches. Seemed to be quite shy. This one allowed the camera within about 20 feet.

Birds are amazing. A slight flick of the wings and they are gone. Who taught them to fly?
