This Northern Flicker is one of my favorite birds, mostly because of its unusual coloring. How often do you see a bird that's apparently wearing a bib? 

Wednesday in Wyoming - September 3, 2025

 

This month I thought I'd stay close to home, at least for my blog posts, and so I'm featuring Backyard Birds.

This Swainson's Hawk was a frequent visitor one summer, perhaps because there was a lot of food for him in the form of ground squirrels and baby bunnies. But one day instead of taking a bath in the birdbath, he washed his food. What was it? A slice of bread. You can imagine what happened when that went into the water.
