Look, Albino Hummingbird On The Feeder!

[jdmidwest]

I walked by the window this afternoon after work and spotted an Oriole sitting on the hummingbird feeder pole. I went to get the camera and even more surprising, an albino hummingbird, big sucker too.

Isn't that a lost baby red belly woodpecker?

Great pic though.

Ain't nothing in that picture looks real to me...

[denjac]

Now that is funny!

Red bellied wood pecker!

[jdmidwest]

That is not a baby, I feed him all winter. He would pick sunflower seeds out of the feeder and crack them on a limb of a redbud nearby. His tongue was lapping up the sugar water today, now I will probably have a bunch of diabetic peckerwoods flying around. I wish I could have got a shot of the Oriole and the Woodpecker together, it was cool when I first saw them.

Diabetic wood peckers, lol. I want to see you give them a shot.

We have tons of gold finches, indigo buntings and even pine martins cleaning the feeders out daily.

we have one bird, I have only seen twice, but I think its a female painted bunting.

You mean purple martins? I don't think we have any pine martens in MO.

He may mean a Pine Siskin. Purple Martins don't eat from feeders.

That's a new one for me. I would have just called that a sparrow...I don't know much about birds.
