My feeding and watering session should be getting started soon so all will be well then.
This bird is the size of a fattened up Robin but has a lot of light green, grey and light brown, has a longer narrow beak which is why I thought it might be a woodpecker. Had to look to see what the cats were growling about because it blended so well with the pine/ cedar tree from my angle.

I've been fed and watered too John, a full belly always puts a smile on my face. 
I`ve never seen anything like a Northern Flicker. I really like watching woodpeckers and chickadees.

There`s probably a lot of birds around that I miss seeing John, I`m too busy watching the wood peckers and chickadees. Magpies are always hanging around in the distance watching for free food.

My last place had a pair of nesting morning doves for the first couple of years but the magpies and crows chased them off. I'm thinking this is either a grey Jay or one of the wood peckers as this area is protected enough and Calgary is warm enough for them to winter here. There's a branch that makes a good perch and feed holder so that may go on the project list.
