The hairy woodpecker is back!
She has been coming daily and eating a lot. I don’t know if she has a nest full of babies or she’s trying to eat enough to keep warm in the oncoming cold. It has gotten not only rather cold, but wet. We needed the rain, though I wouldn’t mind if the cold had held off a little longer.
I think she is getting a bit round!
You can really see the markings on her back
What’s going on up there?
Amazing mobility
By the time I turned my head, she was back at the tree, getting any living bugs out of the bark

She is. And a very brazen woodpecker, too.

Today, we’ve got about 3 inches of snow and it’s still falling. LAST week it was warm enough for shorts and t-shirts. AND she is till out there knocking back seeds. It was supposed to be “Maybe a light dusting.” Some dusting!

All these black & white barred an striped woodpeckers are very handsome. And, as far as I can tell, PERMANENTLY starving. Just like our dog.
