Okay bird people, you don't have to try to ID this guy because the pictures aren't great. Trees are dense! But I wanted to show you that I'm noticing behavior. I thought this guy was pecking at the limb which seemed normal enough. When he flew off, I noticed he had something reddish-orange in his beak and I thought he had an insect or something. But looking at the pictures I think he was pecking a seedpod open against the limb and the insides were that reddish-orange color. I just thought it was neat to see bird behavior going on in the yard.
