A couple of days ago I was able to escape the craziness that work has been the last weeks to go on a walk.
I heard a thumping up in a tree in front of us at one point and looked up to find A WOODPECKER. A living one, wood pecking in the wood. I picked up Baby J to show it to her. I think she made it out through the trees, something I wasn’t as lucky with the camera. I tried anyway and managed to catch this horrible picture of the subject.
I’m gonna make up for the quality in enthusiasm: THAT’S A REAL WOODPECKER IN A TREE. In case you can’t imagine, I had never seen one before. I heard one months back in a tree close to the house I’m living in but I couldn’t see it. It was pretty cool for the biologist in me to see this famous bird.
I shared this with the cool people of the Look Up, Look Down Challenge.
Have a great day!
It’s not easy capturing photos of birds in trees. (How well I know.) Glad you finally saw it! 🙂

It was bigger than I expected and sort of bulkier? For some reason I imagined them very lean.
I did what I could because I knew anything was better than not trying, I settled for the bad picture beforehand 🙂
