While I was ripping up sod last week, I made a pair of unlikely friends…

Whenever I got up to get a drink, stretch or whatever, I noticed they’d swoop in on the area I’d just cleared. When I’d come back they’d move away, but still keep a close eye on me. So I started tossing them any little grubs or worms that I came across.

They LOVED that and started coming closer.

At one point, one them was probably only a foot from me.

And while they waited for any scraps I sent their way, they did their own hunting in the areas I’d already cleared. Let me tell you – those robins can eat!!!

I was walking through the livingroom back up to my office the other day when I noticed something strange out the front window…

There was a female Red Bellied Woodpecker walking down the sidewalk out front. Can you guess what she was doing???

Looking for a snack in the cracks of the sidewalk! Now that’s something I’d never seen before!
Love that the robins were helping you garden.

That’s just how I got started with the darn vultures. Now they wake me up knocking on the door at sunrise for their breakfast….lol. That’s a really pretty woodpecker. We have them here but I’ve never seen one like that before.

At least she doesn’t have to peck at the cement, only the crack!

The Robins love worms! I think that last bird might be a Common Flicker:)
