Sunday in Elayne Ryba’s yard

Naomi  and  I  spent the day Sunday in Elayne Ryba’s back yard waiting for the red-headed woodpecker, who didn’t show up. But we enjoyed lots of  other  birds  and  Elayne’s wonderful hospitality. Many thanks to Elayne  for  generously  sharing the news of the red-headed woodpecker and the opportunity to watch for it! (We’ll be back — will the rhwp?)

Here are a few photos of some what we did see yesterday in Elayne’s backyard:
