6/10/11, MT natural. Looks like the woodpecker is recoiling from the "natural" look of the cardinal's molting!

  I've never seen a bird do a double-take before - he actually looks as tho he's recoiling from the sight! Poor cardinal - maybe some Rograine??? :) (That woodshed of yours must be overflowing! LOL!) I've read that this baldness could be caused by feather mites also. Have fun gallivanting around and enjoy your weekend, TN!
