Great trivia. I’ve had my first regular encounters with Pileated Woodpeckers up here in the Northwest and I’ve come to recognize them instantly because of how much louder their jackhammering is than the smaller woodpeckers around here. :)

Assume you did get a touch of the bad weather. We got some cold but just a little bit of rain.

My new flock story continue to be the pair of Egyptian geese. There are 10 goslings that are about half grown. We may have the only breeding stock of the goose in North America. I’ve got a great picture of mom and dad taken in early spring but just can’t get the whole family except on my iPhone. That does not do them justice. The half grown males of the brood are starting to get their orange legs.

Might not have sen you the picture since you were moving and doing so many new things. San Antonio zoo isn’t missing Egyptian geese as they have never had any. Some rancher is missing out on his lovelies. Maybe they just needed a little more freedom to reproduce.

What a racket when the drumming bounced down the flue and across the hearth into the house!
