- Red-Headed Woodpecker takes opportunity for long bath and neck rub at the bird bath. A very mean Robin, some Orioles, and a Catbird also vie for use as nobody seems to get along.
New visitor - Check out my latest video of Red-bellied Woodpecker in the Rain • Red-bellied Woodpecker...
Love the slightly scruffy "after bath" look. Thanks
3:41 I love how he just started out taking little sips, then got his head wet, and then it all just went downhill from there.

Thanks! The Only one that I Knew was THE RED~HEADED WOODPECKER and I like knowing who's Who.
@@FairyKat1759 your welcome, they listed the names in the description but I added the time stamps.
There was also either a female Oriole or a youngster Oriole that the Robin shooed away in that mix.
0:37 true to its name, the cat bird shows you its butthole
Thanks
My favorite job is feeding the birds n squirrels.Sometimes I'll catch a deer or fox as,well.
There is nothing to compare . God's beautiful creatures to watch n ENJOY.
❤👀👍
Adorable bird bath ever. We can’t believe with number of bird coming to this lovely pool. Woodpecker is so amazing, my friend. Thank you for the wonderful sharing. Great channel you have. Stay connected my friend.
He was getting ready for a date. Showing off... lol.. birds are just awesome..
Mother Nature is truly beautiful!
Agree so very much
This is one of my favorite birb videos. I always come back to it ❤️🌺
Thanks so much. It almpst seemed like the birds rehearsed. They seemed to land in the right spots.
Just proves the fact, that if you provide both Water and food, you will attract the Birds, and keep them around with many return visits. Wish I had such a set up as this guy does, not to mention, a camera to record the wonderful visitors getting clean & happy.
I took the plastic bottom tray from a large potted plant, put some rocks and crystals in it, and set it out on a tree stump near my kitchen window. I get all kinds of birds visiting my yard, squirrels love it, and in the summer, lots of bees come for a drink. Everybody is happy.
@@TheBriarPatch love that!
@@TheBriarPatch You awesome little nature helper! Love to you from the Pacific NW! 👋👇👏✌🍂🍃🍁🐦

He will definitely make a suitable mate as he spend so much time preening his hygiene is impeccable.....
Ughh but he rolled into bird poop.
Nope; maybe clean but who wants someone that eats shit?! Cause that's what he did.
@@sinnombre4357 🤣🤣🤣
Sin Nombre
He threw the poop off the brick, he didnt eat it. Then he cleaned his beak, which is why he was sticking it in the water and rubbing it against the brick
He may be well groomed but he won't get the chicks if he is an asshole
Just watching this detoxfies my mind... thanks for sharing.
Thanks - From what I have read, research has shown watching birds has a positive effect.
@@fluffypeanutcat Indeed it does. Freshens up your mind, brings joy, and humility as it shows we humans are just one more species on the planet. Thanks a lot for sharing.
@@fluffypeanutcat Yes, you are so right!!!
Yeah that bird is like.....hey other birds GET OUT
William Nsubuga - Xperience Cycling Yes!!
Wow, I haven’t seen a Red Headed Woodpecker in years. So beautiful!
I have a Bird Bath look⭐
Noticed the bird coming from the tree behind woodpecker, diving at a safe distance like a little fighter pilot. Beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I think some of the Orioles are coming in behind a couple of times. At the 4:30 mark I think it is a house sparrow that comes very close.
I'm a Senior lady of 74. Last July an apartment opened up for me in a suburb near my old home. I had signed up for it 2 years ago when I had sold my house and went to Chicago to live.I had 8 cats and refused to give any of them up. So my sister rented me the apartment where my parents had lived. I waited there until most of my fur babies died and an apartment opened up. My waiting list was 3 years. And it happened just in time. I had 2 cats left when I got the call to move in. The place was perfect for me, ESPECIALLY the tiny patio garden that I acquired. I just planted a row of Morning Glories next to my privacy fence and in front of them, I planted red and violet petunias and red and white geraniums to go in large planters. My daughter even bought me SNAPDRAGONS, one of my favorite flowers. But the best part, I set up a bird bath from the saucer of a large clay flower pot. In 2 days, I had my first Robin. He has been coming ever since and with a companion. I can watch them from my patio glass door and now even little sparrows came to bathe. They make my garden ALMOST complete. This morning I heard a woodpecker somewhere on one of the trees nearby. We are surrounded by large victorian style houses with very tall trees. By evening, I was getting ready to make my dinner when I happened to look out to my garden and spotted a humming bird darting around a feeder I had placed for them with nectar. I just new all my flowers would attract the loveliest of all God's creatures, humming birds. Now my garden is perfect. I love my little apartment and my little garden.
The beauty of nature gives me more peace and inspiration than any famous painting ever could.
I'm happy for your peace.
@@DennisRivenburg-de4sg Hello dark helmet. I must admit that name is very ominous. Hope it's just a way of changing your persona from a mild mannered man. But in any case, I wanted to thank you for your kind reply. It was sweet you took the time to say a few words. With so many people in the word and some say they are lonely. I'm not. I'm always happy to make a new friend. They are like little pearls among the blades of grass. So, have a nice day dark helmet and stay safe, wash, wash, wash.
@@passion777able thank you for your response, actually dark helmet is a character in the movie space balls which is a parody of star wars and Rick moranis plays a comedic Darth Vader wearing a comical oversized black helmet and his name is dark helmet. Peace and love and vote Trump out of office !
@@DennisRivenburg-de4sg You said the magic words in your last line .... vote trump out of office. I'm all for it! This is the worst president we have ever had and hopefully the last. I think I love you already. As for Dark helmet, now i remember the name. I saw that movie when it first came out. I attended star Wars with my 6 month old son. My poor husband spent most of that movie in the concession stand. He was frightened by the first burst of that theme. He never new Star Wars until he was a teenager. But Space Balls came out right after Star Wars and we had to see the parody. It was funny.
So now I know you are of my generation or close to it.
Everyone should have a bird bath if they have a back yard. It really helps the wildlife. 🙂
Especially in a drought year. I was so suprised in 2017 when I wondered how birds were doing with everything dried up. I just quickly put up this makeshift bath. It was busy with a variety of birds all summer. If you build it they will come.
Thanks for keeping the natural soundtrack!
I feel like I took a bird watching trip! Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks also for watching!
I have a Bird Bath look🦌
Great to see the red headed woodpecker. When I little back in the late fifties to mid 60s I used to see them far more than I see them now. Back then we had large pines close to our house and woodpeckers were common to see and hear.
Birbs keep sounds pure.
1:30 birb is like.... you dont bath in the drinking water... BRO dont do it... BROOOOO
Robins know how to take a bath. I ll never get tired watching them , Thank you for sharing.
They seem to be number 1 on the most amount of splash list.
I love watching birds have a bath. Flapping their wings and splashing water everywhere like oh yeah!!!!!
I have a Bird Bath look🐥😘
I liked when Woody checked out the duck that was "cracking up. The poor hummers wanted a drink but the big guys wouldn't let them. Excellent vid!
Thanks Much
2:26 Love how that bird bathes LOL 😀
They all seem to make an "Art" out of bathing 🏆 👏
Great video. I actually found myself constraining my movements while watching and WHISPERING!
Thanks - I was watching action live from Kitchen window as my camera was set up remotely next to bath. I was so mad at the Robin chasing away all the Orioles that I almost went outside to scare off. Glad I didn't or I would have missed the RedHead doing the bath and neck massage and the Robin slipping twice and somersaulting in the water.
Nice video, birds understand that taking a bath makes them comfortable.
Thanks-It was especially so in our drought year of 2017.
Robins are feisty little birds. I’ve seen them run at other birds wings stretched out, head down, screeching and squawking as if to say, “get away from my food”. They’re terribly territorial. Fun to watch.
Great video
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks-Robins really can be quite obnoxious at times. I was quite perturbed how it would'nt let the little Oriole chick use the bath. Like you said fun to watch.
Haha! That woodpecker takes a bath like he thinks he’s a nervous little Chihuahua . 😂
Red Heads are pretty wary and I think he was a little spooked out in seeing the cam lens.
Karl Krueger Oh! thanks for the info! I didn’t know that about them! it’s good to learn new things 😊👍
He's having a blast playing in the water very funny
Thank you, Karl. What a pleasant and joyful 😃 video of these precious birds 🐦 drinking and bathing. Lovely.
Love birds. Relaxing to watch!
I have a Bird Bath look🦋
Some of the coolest footage ever!!! Seeing each of those birds react to the water was fascinating! Who knew Robins could have a temper like that?
Excellent setup! Shows the importance of water to all creatures. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks a lot! That Robin was a real jerk bird personalitywise, kept chasing the poor little Oriole chicks away. Did get some return karma when he slipped twice and somersaulted into the water.
Robins, at least in Europe, are very territorial
Robins are aggressive and can be real jerks, even to humans. Their beady little eyes glitter with hate.
@@fluffypeanutcat I had no idea they were bratty like that..lol
It did look like a juvenile robin to me!
{6:41-6:48}Nothing like a pole dance after a good bath! Nice set up btw!
Thank you.
I am viewing every nature related video and music I find on YT. SO relaxing, refreshing, in this chaotic world. Thanks.
Thank you - I have to pass this link to one of my favorite videos. I grew up in Michigan (now in S.Dakota) and this video reminds me so much of my summers there. th-cam.com/video/k72jGJTC_3o/w-d-xo.html
I just loved watching this video. Your birdbath is attracting a wide variety of beautiful birds. I didn't realize birds loved bathing so much.
Thanks - 2017 was a drought year and open water sources pretty much dried up. It was reason I put up bath. I had no idea that I would have this much action.
Proud boys! Wrothy boys! Wrothy of the gods! Never give up never surrender! Fight back always! never back down! SKÅL
That little robin in the beginning was so funny with the way he was flipping around compared to how the woodpecker started with his face and worked his way down
Robins seem to go all in when they bathe. The Red Headed woodpecker legs designed for climbing trees not standing in Bird Bath so they have to be more caustiou
My cat loves watching this! ❤️
Love this footage thanks. Makes my day watching them little things. Each and everyone of those birds are beautiful.
Thank You
I have a Bird Bath look😎
who needs netflix when you can just put a birdbath and a couple bird feeders in your backyard and watch nature in peace and quiet. very relaxing and entertaining at the same time
It's always my first look in the morining from Kitchen window.
Cool to see a Red-headed Woodpecker. They are actually a Near Threatened species because they have been declining.
Felt fortunate to have them this summer. Interesting from what I have read that no one is sure why they should have such a rapid overall decline in population. Yet in some areas the population has rebounded. Having some dead trees in our old tree-belt I assume is why we have them at our farmstead. I did see one immature late summer (no red-head) so believing they raised at least one.
Starlings which we have, are probably one of their problems. I know they compete with flickers. I witnessed starlings battling some flickers and taking away nesting sites.
After watching Texas Humming bird feeders this looks like an Acorn woodpecker
Interesting observation! In fact looking at my "Birds of North America" field guide, they are next to each other in the illustrations. Both almost same in size (7.5"-8") and with their flight pattern sillouete showing identical. If they weren't wearing different patterned suits they couldn't be told apart.
Snake Eyes we have lots in then ozarks
There population has recently been proven to be non-threatened. It was a misconception!
They are all beautiful. Love the robin! The woodpecker is gorgeous- looks like he has on a white tank top.
Robins seem to be the most engaged in taking a bath. Woodpeckers were rare at the bath. Have had Red Heads here at the farm the last 5 years.
Rocks/bricks are too high round the edges. They can't see if anything is sneaking up on them so they don't feel really safe to really enjoy the water. Love the results. The ackward half body dipping is too funny. But they would enjoy it more if they could see over the edging rocks while in the middle of the bath. Thanks for posting. Brought a smile to my day.
Thanks for comment. I believe you are right and birds do seem to like an open view during bath.
I think birds are looking for flying cat drone
@@NotMe35971 ,
Or maybe the eye of a tiger. 😁
Woodis are gorgeous birbs! ♥
Watching this video is a good stress relief
WOW, your birdbath is apparently well known by a great many birds! thumbs up! plus 1~
It was an extremely dry year in 2017. I was suprised to at the variety it drew through the year.
Oh he's so cute and beautiful! Floof boi turns into soggy boi at the woodpecker spa! Beautiful vid!
Evidently woodpeckers don't go to the spa to improve looks
Karl Krueger - LOL! I thought he was trying to get ready for his Friday night date! 😄
❤️
Beautiful closeup shots
Omgosh makes me all happy inside and I was feeling super discouraged today !🙌Great vid😃thanks so so much for posting! more👍🏼more👍🏼😉
There has being research that shows seeing a bird makes people feel better.
That's why I cuddle with my 2 macaws. They are wonderful and incredibly loving! They have huge habitats in my home and are never in cages. I've had both for over 20 years. Loved your video!
I have a Bird Bath look😇
So calming!!! Lowered my blood pressure right away! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Subscribed because of this!
watching that robbin get so into it around 2:25 that he fell over forwards and flopped around a bit gave me a good laugh
That was kind of an irate Robin as it kept chasing the little Oriole chick away. It needed to cool off.
you are such a bird lover and i really appreciate you. thanks for stopping by. regards
I have a Bird Bath look😊🐒
Wow. He really bathed every bit of himself. Nice video capture.
Thank you-Birds get all the credit. Definitely the best capture I've gotten by just leaving the camera and let run.
@@fluffypeanutcat Also, I liked your bath. Structured just right, for birds to gradually inch down to the water. Did you make it yourself? Bird baths are expensive!
watching in slow motion is just so fascinating.
great idea!
It's a great way to see nature close up. I love it when the bird land in the camera funny !!!!
So beautiful bath tray
HOW BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THEM HAVING FUN.
THANK YOU. WONDERFUL

Thanks for the comment. Almost 2 years exactly ago. Back then we were in severe drought and now we are super wet. Still have the bath out.
Great video! Red-Headed Woodpecker is very colorful.
Thank You. This was taken probably near it's molting period in 2017. Feathers even more brilliant earlier. The male and female have identical plumage

Love the paint stick perch! Clever Karl!
Thanks-It definitely had a lot of perched bird use.
Just a simple pool of water is a gift from God and so important to these crazy birds. Such a cool catch of life as a bird
This was my first year setting out a bird bath at the farm. At times it was almost like thery were having splash contests
in order of appearance, Cat Bird(aka Cop birds), red Breasted male american robin, American Goldfinch, cat bird(again) then the red Headed Woodpecker( this particular type is on the endangered species list)
Thanks I'm watching from England and don't know these birds, 😊
Thanks for watchin. There was a Male Baltimore Oriole that did fly in to first scare the Cat Bird. It's colors are a little off as late summer and near molt. The little ones that look like the Goldfinch and being chased by the Robin are actually Juvenile Orioles. Feel fortunate to have had the Red Heads nesting in our Tree Belt the last 3 years. Got a video this year of Red Heads feeding 2 young th-cam.com/video/u09XtMSPaoo/w-d-xo.html
Очень интересно наблюдать за птицами)
Seems like the larger birds get the longest time near the water. I love the variety of birds that visit your bird bath.
It was kind of a record drought year and I did not realize the variety that was nearby just looking for a place to refresh themselves.
The other birds are like: "Look! Woody's spoiling it for everybody else . . . AGAIN!!"
I was kind of mad that the young Orioles coming to the bath that day didn't get a chance to bathe. First a mean Robin and then as you say Woody spoiling. A lot of respect for that weaponized big bill.
We have two red headed woodpeckers that frequent our feeders almost daily. Up until they showed up I've never seen any in person before. Their heads look like velvet when the sun 🌞 hits them just right.
That is great. The male and female are identical in plumage. I am guessing they are raising young in tree cavity nearby. This time of year though young might be out of nest. I have had a pair around the last 5 years or so. Mine will eat sunflower seeds as well as Jelly put out for the Orioles.th-cam.com/video/qdnNPjXnqyw/w-d-xo.html
@@fluffypeanutcat Wow! It really did enjoy itself some jelly.
Thanks for the buttery smooth 60fps
You know I had to think about that as usually recorded 30 fps. Soemhow I put file in a mislabed directory. When I found it low and behold it was 60fps. You're Welcome
Very cool, love the Red-head!
Thanks for comment. Have to say not the most graceful bird in the world.
Ah....✨so cute and peaceful✨love it💛thank you🌼
Thanks a bunch!
That catbird wasn’t giving up, even after the woodpecker scared him off.
They are one of my favorits. Have'nt heard or seen any around this year.
Beautiful program which makes my spirit glad! Thanks for the break from hectic living!
You are welcome. Science has shown people feel better when viewing a bird.
I have a Bird Bath look👍
I like the way he checked out the pretend bird first... so cute!
Thanks for pointing that out. I could see him twisting his head and looking and always thought it was only the camera. I now see he hopped right over to get a closer look at the yellow painted cement duck. I always forget too, that interestingly the male and female redhead are marked exactly the same.
No one is going to mess with "Woody" ...he's got the biggest pecker. Long and sharp. Seriously.
It does seem other birds notice he(she?) has a formidable weapon.
Yes they will kill other birds that is why none came while he was there.
Mr. Krueger. Thank you so much for keeping this darling video up! Not only was I amazed at the variety of birds in your area, but all their private bird sounds and catching them chatting to themselves, as they enjoy a little spa treatment! It was truly an eye opener! Love to you from the Pacific NW! 👇👏✌🍂🍃🍁🍁
You are most welcome
Woodpeckers are the kings of the feeder and the bath. No bird wants to be pecked by a woodpecker.
with each peck, the bird undergoes a force of 1,200 to 1,400 g's- this force is around 10 times greater than what would cause a concussion in humans. sciencebasedlife.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/exploring-the-g-force-why-woodpeckers-dont-get-concussions/
this is such a therapeutic video
Thanks - Glad you liked
That Robin was too funny. Great lens on that camera. Very diverse gang of birds.
Yeah, it was great to see it slip twice and summersault into the water. I was so mad at it for going after the Oriole chicks. Watching all of this from kitchen window and I almost went outside to chase Robin away. Glad I didn't.
Very nice birds.
What a relaxing way to pass the time during this pandemic lockdown. Thank you for posting.
Very Welcome - Seems like we'll need more bird watching
The woodpecker was terrified to get in the water
They're a bit awkward when it comes to ground things. They only know how to climb tree trunks and branches for the most part.
My cat is watching with great interest! So fun to watch for me too! I have 2 birdbaths that i fill twice a day. It will be 112 on Wednesday! My front garden is shaded so it becomes an airport!
Birds really do appreciate some water relief on a hot day. This was recorded in a drought year.
Karl Krueger We recently stayed in Sedona and its dry up there too. I filled a giant water pan and at sunset a group of 15 Peccaries and 4 piglets came running up and all those snouts slurped up 3 gallons! What a treat.
Wow ! Thank you for this sharing. Lot of competition around the bath :)
Thanks - This was during one of our driest years. Birds of a feather and different feather - not always wanting to share together.
I understand, even if it's not dry or hot outside, birds don't like to share their place in bath lol I see that in my little garden
1:35 the bird in the back "this NOT swimming pool yo! Get the ****out of here!"
...Comes back to take a bath moment later...
awesome bird beautiful video thanks
Someone hates your camera!! Could watch this all day. Thanks!
The Red Head definitely did notice it. I think a flashing recording lite might have spooked a little. There were a couple of times birds landed on the mount the camera was attached to. Thanks !
I really think that robin fell in twice
You are right! Actually did somewhat of a somersault both times as the brick was maybe angled with too much steepness. I remember watching the robin in it's bullying actions from the kitchen window and almost went outside to yell at it for chasing the poor little oriole chick away so many times.
Very nice, Karl :-)
I have a Bird Bath look🐼😂
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! You inspired me to create a bird bath in my backyard where cardinals usually hang out. In the spirit of nature, I will not try to scare away Robins or Orioles, but any animal with the word "cat" in it, is dead here.

I loved this video thanks for sharing it! My small birdbath attracts small birds and I enjoy watching them every day
Thank You. As we had plenty of water this year not as much bird bath action but I had lots of action with Orioles on Jelly feeders. Also late summer had Humming birds migrating though and using my feeders. th-cam.com/video/4ZaruHcT7n8/w-d-xo.html
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Thank you for this karl! we enjoyed watching this here in Orlando Florida ... so did our cat
You are very welcome! Best regards to you Cat. Hopefully just a watcher and not a catcher!

Simply wonderful...
Thnaks! - The birds hit all their marks that day.
How dislike this scene??? I can't understand.It's wonderful and preasures.Thank you
Thanks - Some people just like to be different
What a beautiful vantage point!
Never know what a bird(s) going to do. Almost seemed liked they rehearsed and hit their stage marks properly.
Thank you! This was a nice treat to watch.
So very welcome.
So calming, i love it!
Thanks much. When I need to find peace in the day I try to find the time to look at a bird. The Robin in this video was kind of a punk though.
Nice variety of birds
Thanks
So sweet ❤️
Thank You
Don't mess with a robin and her bath🐣
I've never actually seen a Woodpecker up close that wasn't directly pecking a tree or flying off real quick. I never knew how they really looked up close.
One of the other types of woodpeckers I see is the Northern Flicker. They are a true woodpeckers but spend a lot of time on ground eating ants. This one stopped in for a drink in the fall. th-cam.com/video/c4Ngxbu7ucM/w-d-xo.html
