It is amazing what I observe
when taking just a glance out the window.
Today, it was a large
flicker pecking at the ground for food. The feathers of brown, white, and black
with a patch of red melded into a magnificent display for my watchful eye. This bird may have been hidden to another who
glanced with less interest.
A few days previous,
Glenn witnessed, and called out for me to come quickly, a trio of huge pileated
woodpeckers gathered about our back deck.
To see one pileated is a prize, but three at once a most incredible marvel.
Many of the local
birds have made themselves scarce with the coming of winter, but still plenty
abound to provide a moment’s pleasure.
And, I partake of
that pleasure daily.
Hmmm...I wonder what surprise will greet me tomorrow?
