Such a pretty bird.
I really like the shot with the tree bark background.
I never see them around my house.
Someone told me you have to be near a good sized wooded area. Is that correct?

All the dept. stores around here carry the feeders.
I'd like to attract them but I don't have a woods nearby except for very small strips of treelines no more than 50' wide at the most between farm fields and housing editions.
Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.
