Birds & Blooms’ Friday Fun Photo for January 4, 2013: Downy Woodpecker & Sparrow by Kurt Peterson of Chicago, Illinois. Kurt writes, “Here’s a few of our regular birds “discussing” whose turn it is. Our male downy isn’t very good at sharing, especially with sparrows. He won this round, but as soon as he left, the sparrow crew flew in to feast.”
Let the Friday Fun begin! Let’s hear your clever caption for this fun photo.

“Suet brings you to this neck of the woods?”
Oh, Jackie,
Your comment literally made me laugh outloud. I make suet cakes all the time, and your wording has never occurred to me before. Thank you for my morning laugh.
Such a nice thing to say, thanks Cindy!
If I was picking the best saying, you would win hands down!!!

Sparrow to the woodpecker “This is not your cake Woody. You need to leave!”
Back off; this cake is mine!
“Is this seat taken?”

Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears , this suet is bigger than any woodpecker > that i can ,or can not see, said the sparrow.
Mom says if I eat all my food I’ll grow big and strong.

I was looking for the picture that is in the February/Mach issue of the oriole. I couldn’t find it here on the blog.
I thought of a couple of captions for the oriole.
“That tail wind really made the trip short” OR ” I love the new blow dryers they installed.”
I love ALL of the pictures and articles in the magazine. Thank you so much
“Is this ‘suet’ taken”!!!!
“You want a piece of me, Woody….come on! I may be small but I carry a big punch! “
“If you don’t get outta here, i’ll burn your butt!!
