The female White-headed woodpecker and Mountain Chickadee from October 22, 2020. At first only the male woodpeckers were coming by, but after some time the females began to show face too. Such sweet birds that will look you in the eye. They seem to appreciate the water source.

I love it when the White-headed Woodpecker stops by for a drink of water. The red patch on the crown of his head indicates he’s a male. The females do not have the red patch.
