USA, summer '24 - the neighbourhood

Juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker

Even at the worst time of the year, at the worst time of day, there's still plenty to enjoy here.... just a few minutes from the family homestead, I found an unoccupied house with a perfect, undisturbed area of varied habitat within its boundaries - ready made for a fantastic hour ot twos relaxed birding. Thick scrub, open woodland, weedy glades and no disturbance - I'll be back...
