a tangle of trees
big red-headed woodpecker
hammering holes
Rat-a…rat-a…ratatat…ratat-tatt! Rata-tatt!! Tatt-tatt!! That’s got to be a big one! The unmistakable booming sounds of the pilieated woodpecker draws my eyes to look up searching thru the tangle of trees until I spotted the tall barren trunk of dead wood and waited for any sign of movement. There all the way up near the top, I saw a flash of red, the big bird with head jabbing, neck snapping, beak pecking, hammering, hammering away!!! It’s always a thrill to see life so alive. 🙏🏻
