This morning, I was standing in the kitchen and noticed a flash of bright red in a tree outside. It belonged to this bird! Have you ever seen one like it? I ran to get the camera because I thought it looked so weird. Maybe it's a common bird around here, but I've never seen one. Just thought someone more knowledgeable than me might know what kind of bird it was.
Dusty asked me if I had become an early morning birdwatcher. I don't think that's really my thing, but I'll definitely be watching for this bird from now on!

I'm with Dusty on this one! YOU, taking pics of birds? Never saw it coming! LOL!(Although it really is a very pretty bird) Feed it good and maybe it will hang around there. Hope you find out what kind it is.
I don't know much about birds, but is it a woodpecker?
I have to agree with Dusty & Brandi on this one...Brooke as a birdwatcher?!?
I think it is a pileated woodpecker. There are usually black, with red crest and with a little bit of white. So that fits the description of your new friend!:)
In Clay County we call that a red-headed woodpecker ..I guess that name is good enough for a city girl....
ISN'T good enough....
Bryan said it was a woodpecker, too.
So, have I really lived 27 years without having seen a woodpecker?! This morning, I didn't know what kind of bird to google or how to describe it so I could google it! Tonight, when I googled "woodpecker," I found that, of course, this is a type of woodpecker (this is a chubby woodpecker, though)!

Anonymous people - you have to sign your name. I don't know who's making fun of me if you don't own up!
