Ladder Backed Woodpecker

One of the joys of gardening is attracting birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and other beautiful things to the yard. They like the plants, and really appreciate it if you add some water year around and another source of food, especially in the winter.

This male ladder backed woodpecker stopped in for a last snack before bedtime late in the day back in February.
