"Woody" sited at Windy Ridge

Which of our children were with us in Florida when your dad slammed on the brakes and excitingly exclaimed that he just saw a piliated woodpecker. He hastily turned around and went back and if memory serves us correctly, we all saw it. Well, have I got one for you. This morning we were sitting in our recliners watching TV and I noticed a little songbird on our North deck rail singing away....He was so pretty and we quietly, without moving for fear we would scare him away, watched him for a few seconds before he decided to take off into the tree area of our woods. Spring is here, I thought. The birds are back. I looked back at the TV but felt my eyes drawn to the window in case another songbird appeared lest I miss it. All of a sudden it came into my view. Out in our woods high up in one of our oldest trees I saw a very large pilliated woodpecker pecking away. I got so excited, I told your dad he needed to move over to my view so he could see him. We both just gazed in awe as "Woody" tore into that old tree. We tried to get a video of him but I guess your dad got just a little bit to close, even though we were still inside, to the big window and Woody flew before we could get the shot. We can only hope he will come back and we will see him again. What a thrill! Oh, and BTW, in case someone doesn't know, Windy Ridge is what we call our little piece of land on this mountain.
