This little wren entertained us with her song

I've been chilling at my parent's house for the past 2 weeks.  They live on the edge of town and have a lovely backyard full of wildlife.  I've passed many happy hours sitting on their patio watching the birds flit through the trees.  A couple of wrens have built a nest in a nearby birdhouse and every day they've serenaded us with their melodious calls.

Woodpecker fighting with another bird

The other morning a woodpecker landed on a hanging suet cake.  Bonus - it got into a fight with another bird over the goodies and I happened to have my camera focused at the right time!

Woodpecker feeding her young

Then a baby woodpecker landed on the suet cake string and the parent began feeding her offspring.  So cute!

Wild turkey flapping it's wings

There's a huge flock of wild turkeys that love to wander through my folks backyard.  I caught this one flapping his wings.

Mama deer and fawn

And finally, several deer are always wandering through the yard.  They even drink from my parent's birdbath!  One mama deer had a tiny fawn and I was always trying to get a photo of it.  Yesterday I happened to be in the right place at the right time and was finally successful!

I'd like to thank everyone who responded my long, detail-oriented post about my recent brain surgery.  Your comments warmed my heart!  It's wonderful to know I have so many friends in the blogging community.
