Michael decided we'd walk since it's not too cold or windy today. As we walked along coming close to the church and the cemetery, i thought, "I've walked here a million times, what is gonna intrigue me that i've not seen before. i was looking around and up into the leafless trees at the squirrel nests. One of them was right over the sidewalk.. and i could see something moving. It wasn't a squirrel ... it was a largish bird. Michael noticed me staring and asked. I pointed, and said, "That looks like a woodpecker." Turns out it was a woodpecker. Pecking away at the nest and dropping stuff down. Not sure why it would do that, only thing i can think of is that it may be looking for food.. nuts and things that woodpeckers do like to eat. So that was very interesting and intriguing. Just what the doctor or Dom ( ) ordered. Thank You, Sir! what a wonderful observation! was it the same type of woodpecker that visits your balconey? and you are so lucky to live where you can walk to the shops. we have the square but need to drive there. 4

We mostly get the smaller downy woodpeckers, but we have seen the Hairy one, now and again: https://www.audubon.org/news/how-tell-hairy-woodpecker-downy-woodpecker The one in the nest was the Hairy woodpecker. 4

Just what the doctor or Dom ( ) ordered. Thank You, Sir! I love woodpeckers. We’ve got them at the summer cabin in Finland. It’s a lovely thing to wake up to (provided they stick to trees and don’t go pecking on the walls, of course). We have lots of other awesome birds too. My granddad used to point them all out, by sight or sound, and tell me what they were. Edited December 30, 2018 by Thorn Wilde 4

They mostly peck around in the yard looking for bugs. 4

Popular Post Brayon Posted December 30, 2018 Popular Post Posted December 30, 2018 Did you know there is a Male version of Hooters called Peckers? They wear skimpy loose silky shorts or tight skimpy silky shorts. At least the one I went to did. Not sure if they are still in business or not. That is all. 2 4
Brayon Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 It seems that the one I went to is gone, and wasn't a national chain. Though there is a Big Peckers in Texas, and an article about Tallywhakers being a national chain. 1 4
