American Crow, they've been numerous lately and the Mockingbirds seem to be constantly having to run them off. Crows are pretty birds in their own way but they are predators and they raid the nests of other birds and eat the eggs and babies:
Female Red-bellied Woodpecker. The feeders were empty because the Grackles and Blackbirds have been raiding them every day and quickly eating all seed and suet. Perhaps this little lady was sticking her tongue out at me for not refilling the feeders fast enough?:

~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot!
