daddy-bird watching

 

Early one morning last week, Bill called me into the kitchen — where we stood watching a male woodpecker feeding his fledgling from the bird feeder, one tiny bit at a time. They were perched on the cedar posts supporting the back patio roof. Being backlit from a very bright sun, we couldn’t really see much detail but I drew them anyway.

Bright sun itself is a bit rare these days. We’ve received so much rain that we “slosh” walking across the pastures. In fact, we were visited by a little blue heron in the front pasture — no doubt  mistaking it for swampland.
