Hey, Emma. Will ya look at the goings on over there?
This may be my third helping of hors d’oevres today, but I’ve had to work hard for them.
Getting right into it for the tastiest morsels.
What do you mean, I should stop? I’ve found a treasure trove.
Oh Lordy, Lordy! I see what you mean, Ruby. I don’t think he should be doing that. This will not end well. We’d never allow that at OUR house. Not with us backyard supervisors on duty.
***
This is not my house and I had to use the zoom for a very long distance when I found the source of the pecking noise, so the flicker is blurry (I had hoped to see him in a tree). I will be on the watch for this guy in case he flies over our way though. Thank goodness our backyard supervisors do a pretty good job of watching for trouble.

Nobody gets away with anything in our yard. They are always on duty. -)

I love the flicker – they are beautiful, even if they can dig through the siding! You did a great job of taking those distance photos. π

Thanks, Lynette. I feel sorry for the owners, but they are away and can’t chase the birds off.

Love these shots. I hear them peck on our house but am glad I cannot see what they are doing!

You don’t want them to peck too long! But I’m sure they peck at most homes once in a while.

Flickers can do serious damage to wooden siding… but I have no idea how you stop them.

My dogs would bark and make them nervous if they were at our house, but right now, there’s no one around at this place and nature has moved in temporarily.

Yay for bird dogs. Looks like spring has sprung by you? Not here yet, but we have a hopeful forecast for a 70f (21c) degree weekend.

Yes, I think it’s safe to say spring has come. Nights are still cool, but no more freezing, I hope. I wish you warmer days soon, Lori. It’s been a long winter.

Give your beautiful dogs two kisses on their noses, one from you and one from myself, they deserve it. Good watch dog (but the flicker is a beautiful bird, not good for your sidings, but still…)

I love your little stories told with lovely words and pictures Anneli. Ruby and Emma are just beautiful! And you’re so right – our young Ruby looks so like yours – they are both so fluffy. We love her so much and would love to get a second dog – perhaps a cocker spaniel like Emma!

You can’t go wrong with an English cocker. We love Emma. Would have several of them if we could.
