Woodpeckers

We had a snow storm on February 9th, so we had all the feeders full for the birds. Most of our feeders are in a Magnolia tree which is close to our kitchen window so we can easily watch the birds. During this particular storm, we had two visitors that don't usually come so close to the house, although we often see one of them in the back yard. They both ate at the suet feeder that day, so I was able to take some nice photos. At first I thought it was a male and a female Downy Woodpecker, but by going through all the photos, I realized that it was a Downy and a Hairy. The Downy is the black&white one with a shorter beak, while the Hairy is the one with the red on his head and has a longer beak.
 I made this layout for the CropChocolate contest this week, which required the use of wood grain. I thought Woodpecker pictures and wood grain were a good match!


I used MME Miss Caroline Dolled Up papers. I love MME and the Miss Caroline collections are my favorites. I just can't get enough of it!
