I'm linking this little nature post with A Southern Daydreamer for "Outdoor Wednesday".
I was walking around the pasture yesterday with the horses when I noticed this one tree with these peculiar holes in it. There were no other trees around with the holes. I had heard a woodpecker tapping while I was walking around but once I got close to the tree the sound stopped and I saw no woodpecker. The big hole is about 3 inches in diameter and the small holes are so precise it is amazing. I took the picture back to the barn and they said that it was indeed made by a woodpecker. Amazing. How big is this fellow anyway! I'm keeping my eye out for him and hope to get a photo sometime.
There were about 4 squirrels busily running around. Up and down the trees and chasing each other. Awww, Spring!
Happy Wednesday.Shirley
That is amazing. I've never seen such a big hole from a woodpecker but I guess anything is possible. I love your new header pictures. So springlike.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a woodpecker hole like that! That is amazing. And don't you just wonder what kind of teenage mutant ninja woodpecker it is? Jiminy!

Enjoyed your pictures, Shirley. This is funny, apparently there are at least 3 Shirleys who have linked to this party. I don't usually see that many Shirleys in one place. LOL
