Great job! These are red-breasted woodpeckers. We have a few as well, but like yours, they fly away as soon as I even think of taking their photo! Also, I'm impressed by how clean your glass door must be! Haha!

Thanks! These are my favorite that I have seen so far. There is another kind of woodpecker around here, as well. I’m after it now. Loll! I’m obsessed.
I was actually just thinking the back door needed cleaned again, but after seeing these photos, and reading your comment, I would say I’m good for a while. ;) Hahaha!
Hahaha! I hope you can grab shots of the other ones. Are they smaller than these or larger?
It was smaller. I think it was a Pileated Woodpecker, but I can’t be sure. I hope I get a photo of it soon!
Pileated woodpeckers are really big and prefer old-growth forests. I've never seen one at a feeder, not to say that they won't. Maybe look up Downy Woodpecker?
It could have very well been a Downy. I do know that it wasn’t larger than the one in these photos. I haven’t seen another one yet. I hope I get to soon!
