Woodpecker
The yellow bellied sapsucker was a frequent visitor to our backyard shed. He regularly drilled holes and awakened us with hit rat-tat-tat hammering. Just yesterday we heard a loud thump at the front door, which looking through the front glass you can see our Christmas tree. When I went to the door, there was the beautiful red headed woodpecker lying on the ground. For whatever reason, maybe he was being chased, the bird flew head first into the door.
Coincidentally, our friend recently sent a picture of a woodpecker in their backyard and my good friend just sent an Audubon society Christmas card that had drawings of woodpeckers and a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson stating,
"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit".
Godspeed my friend.
With Love,
