Happy New Year to you, Mary Anne and thanks for all the ways you add to my life. (The butterfly count still has me mesmerized!). Fondly,
Patricia

looks like my woodpecker, he takes a sunflower seed and sticks it in a hole he made in my palm tree. He pecks it until it breaks, eats the seed and pulls out the shell. He does this over and over again. Over the summer he taught his baby how to do this.

  They’re beautiful and fun to watch. A couple of springs ago I watched a male downy woodpecker teach his offspring the wonders of a bird feeder: https://the-natural-web.org/2012/06/08/juvenile-downy-woodpeckers-learn-to-forage-for-food/
