Hi birding thread! I knew there would be a bird watching thread if I just looked for it and here it is. There are a bunch of pine siskins, a few Oregon juncos and I heard some black-capped chickadees in my yard this morning.

I have attracted a (pileated I think) woodpecker to my yard :woop: I've never seen a woodpecker in person before this one.

e: actually it's probably more likely that it is a Hairy woodpecker idk the thing scares easily

Yeah when it occurred to me how large a Pileated woodpecker is I figured that probably was not what I saw, it was about the size of a scrub jay and I did indeed see it on my suet feeder. The juncos are back too :woop:. This is in a suburb of Portland OR btw.

There is a bird in my neighborhood that I really need to take a picture of because I have absolutely no idea what it is but I rarely see it in my yard and it is very skittish. I think it is some kind of dove/pigeon but :shrug:.

After many months I think I figured out the answer to this mystery, I think the bird I keep seeing is a Northern Flicker - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Flicker/id
