Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Bird watching.... us




This guy showed up yesterday and today to sample some seed David had put in the elbow of the tree to tempt chickadees. We think he is probably some kind of woodpecker, so are hoping he will stick to seed and tree and stay off our siding.
He is mostly black, very dark.... but has the most beautiful iridescent dark blue.... It showed up a bit on the pics but is so much prettier with the naked eye. (We live in the mountains where we can walk around with our eyes naked all day.)

So naked mountain walking, hmmm, sounds like you have really settled in. Great talking to you, nice to hear about the fun.

I'll show it to Jim. He was a falconer (sp?) early in his career. Gorgeous area!!
