Just another day in Paradise... (Scowl). But still, there is enough time to set up the camera in front of the suet feeder and hope for the best. We've had flickers, downy and hairy woodpeckers lately, and the sun is starting to set... So now would be a great time to capture that special image. You just never know.

I wonder what it is about birding... Why endure the frustration? I mean, the birds are out there whether or not we look. Aside from the beauty, my guess is that there's some sort of mild addiction in the hobby... It's the calculating randomness of the act - like gambling. The chance for the occasional hit of a yellow-bellied sapsucker is like shooting craps... At least birding is relatively free (at least compared to a Vegas bender).

So let's see what we've got...

A Ha! We've captured an "Inverted Downy"... (OK, OK, so it's just a downy woodpecker, but it's still pretty exciting on this end.) We also got a few grackle pictures... Nothing amazing, but still worth the hassle. It's all just a simple game really.

See you by the feeders,
