Spread Your Wings!

I think the first bird is a blackbird. The one attacking the suet is a red-bellied woodpecker.
I've watched geese long enough to learn that some of them like to spread their wings right after hopping up onto the shore. They appear to be celebrating, or laying claim to the territory. Or perhaps they are just drying off.

  11. Just love the last capture. Goose ballet? I owned geese many years ago, and yes, I believe they do this to get water off their wings. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
