Member # 654 posted                       Beautiful shots Bill! Last one is a big fat red X!!!! I just love swans....I have some kind of a woodpecker here lately....can't find him in the neighbors giganto red pepper tree but can sure hear him!!! Does that mean the limb is dead???? It overhangs my property line!!! Sure don't want the heavy branch to come crashing down!!! Do you think I should remove the branch? bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5 Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       Sorry about the error with the Heron picture... (The red X might have been paying him back for all of my goldfish he dined on last summer!) You should be able to view it now. A woodpecker is drilling in a tree doesn't necessarily mean the limb is dead! I'm no expert on Woody, but I do know that woodpeckers will drill holes into a live tree intentionally to cause it to bleed sap which in turn attracts bugs which get stuck in the muck. The woodpecker will return regularly to harvest the bugs he's trapped! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 165.121.24.68 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       Thanx for fixing the last pix.... We have white egrets....huge birdies....had one land in the front yard....cats sure wanted outside when they saw it walking REAL close to the front door. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       Thanx for the info on Mr. Woody! Need to trim that limb but sure didn't want to remove the whole thing. We have a type of wood pecker here that carves out holes in the old oak trees and literally stuffs those acorns inside the limb....they will make these holes up and down all the limbs and trunk within 1 inch of each other. After I get my digital I will take some pix. It is quite amazing!!! The egrets here go after people's Koi fish....they have to build those ponds pretty deep for the fish to get away from the big birds. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5 Jillie Garden Pro! Member # 1680 posted                       Catlover, we had snowy egrets and blue herons in Oceanside. They also would go after the teeny little mallard babies after they hatched. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 1985 | From: Ugh...Van Nuys, CA | Registered: Nov 2003  |  Logged: 64.12.96.70 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                       This one had real white feathers and orange/yellow legs and beak .....and the claws...oh my I can see why the fish wouldn't have a chance!! So that must of been a snowy egret....will have to look them up! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Logged: 68.66.244.5
