Sky Watch Friday: Snow and The Woodpecker
I haven't taken too many photos this week until today. I have had serious car problems and to fix the car, I can't buy my camera this spring. And I am, frankly, tired of taking landscapes while the snow if falling and blowing. I took this photo of this female hairy woodpecker this afternoon after school and it makes me smile. The woodpeckers are flirting brazenly in the tree this week (and the girl woodpeckers are carrying on in a nearly embarrassing fashion). They are a joy to watch. We are having a heavy snowfall this afternoon and tonight.

She looks so young and innocent (great photo!) but that can be deceptive... us guys have to look out for "innocent women" and their nefarious intentions...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely woodpecker!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty she is... I have watched many birds flirting this way for a few week or so now. I hope you can get out and about soon..
ReplyDeleteAll the best

Great capture. You did good with this shot.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, and one thing about that spring can't be far off if birds are making whoopie LOL
ReplyDeleteI think i heard one here yesterday just carrying on as well.
Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! My favorite post of the week!
ReplyDelete(and I can sympathize with having to give up getting your camera because of something else... your reason is car repairs - mine is taxes)
I'm glad I saw your blog on the Daily Photo Portal. This is a nice photo and hey I have a siter named Andree too, so you have to be cool too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photo, Andree. Sorry about your car problems! And the white landscape is getting very old this year, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have my eye on a Cannon Rebel too.
Andree,
ReplyDeleteShe looks ilke she might be wondering why it's still snowing, too! She is a beauty, and so very delicate looking.
I love your woodpecker picture..it is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy butcher gives me large pieces of suet for the birds.
Suet is placed in onion nets close to my window. Here I can watch all our woodpeckers arriving and feeding as much as they like.
Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comment.
-Cheers.
