I finally moaned last week about missing the birds and how putting out the suet didn’t attract any feathery folk. It hung out there for weeks and no one wants anything hung out there for weeks, getting ignored.
Then, I hit “publish” on the old blog post and BLAM!
Downy Woodpecker showed up.
Meanwhile, down below on the ground appeared the Varied Thrush.
And then, Ka-POW! This guy, the Pileated Woodpecker.
He happens to be out there as I type at this moment. Don’t you love his big tail working like an extra set of legs to brace him?
So thank you, Mother Nature, for making me a whiny liar last week.
And thank you, Mother Nature, for letting me still sit on my winter ass and take pictures of birds from my warm, dry house. Happythankyoumoreplease.
