Since moving to the southeast (where summers are described as "the devil's armpit" - this week has been over 90F with "real feel" ~ 105F), linen is a lifesaver. It is lightweight and breathable enough that long sleeves/long trousers are comfortable and it shields from the sun.

While the red-headed woodpeckers were flying around and feeding, a red-bellied woodpecker joined them. Both have a red head and are similar in size, but these photos show their differences. What a great way to finish off the #GBBC weekend.

Two weeks ago on this trail we spotted a lifer: a red-headed woodpecker. They are rather rare, but are sometimes spotted on this section of the trail. We were hoping to see one today, and were rewarded with two red-headed woodpeckers! Here are photos of one of them.

Usual visitors to our yard included: Northern cardinal, Eastern bluebird, blue jay, Carolina wren and Carolina chickadee, robin, tufted titmouse, and three black vultures soaring overhead (a roosting tree is in the neighborhood so we see vultures all day, every day)
