Stewart Report post Posted December 17, 2021 Here in Lutz,They blend in to the background. Where it snows, they must really standout. We riased one . He was so young he had no feathers and had to feed everry 2 hours or so. He had a favorite toy, like listening to Hold music and crunched down on grasshopper legs. When talking on the phone , he pitched in with his chirpings He was a good bird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tsunkasapa Report post Posted December 17, 2021 Nice job! We don't have those up here in the PNW, but I remember seeing them when I was stationed at Ft. Lost in the Woods. This time of year our most colorful bird is the Flicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
