... getting a glimpse of all these big birds that have been flying around in recent days.
Had four sightings of the big pileated woodpeckers in two days -- and also glad to report that the Glade Road broadwing hawk is back on station.
These woodpeckers are loud and insistent when they drum into trees -- so loud and insistent that some friends believe they are my "totem" -- hey, am I really that loud and insistent!
One of the woodpeckers was gliding at ground level over the little stream that courses around our pasture and garden. Most times, they are higher up, beating their wings hard to stay airborne.
The hawk is pure joy to watch in the air -- fast and direct and no nonsense.
It is very good to know these big birds are still my friends.
