A female. Odd. I live in an area of apt complexes and shopping plaza's. There is a wooded lot, perhaps 3/4 of an acre behind me and an area a cross the road that has what I think are some oak trees. Still, I think its a bit strange to see them in the middle of town? It was partaking of my suet feeder. A joy for me to see regardless.
