I posted it because I'm looking through garden pictures remembering what flowers look like. Winter is taking it's toll on me now. :) I can't wait for spring. They are saying possible snow at the end of the week. Oh, no!
I know what you mean. After that beautiful, 83 degree day we had Saturday, we had another freeze last night. I am SO sick of these weather swings. It is time for Spring to get here and STAY here!
The Pileated Woodpecker is back hammering on the ground this this morning. I can't imagine what is so interesting over there that he is staying on the ground for so long at a time. Whatever it is, the squirrels are finding it interesting, too. He had an altercation with one of them this morning. He gets hisself all fluffed up and flaps his wings. It is pretty funny. Comical bird. I hope there are more of them around. I think where there is one, surely there must at least be a mate.
I keep hearing people say that they are endangered. I thought that was just the Ivory-billed ones (which I don't know if this is because I haven't been able to see his beak that close), but I could be wrong. Either that, or perhaps people are mixing them up with another species. How many species of woodpeckers are there anyway? I think I have representatives of most of them. LOL!
