Woody Woodpecker?


This ol' woodhen was busily working on a beech tree. This is in a small upland habitat bordering the Bluebonnet Swamp. As I watched him work, the cold breeze was biting at me. I was too lightly clad for comfort, so I had to keep moving. It spoils me when I spend the weekend outdoors, warmly dressed, then venture out in my typical workaday clothes. It was a pretty afternoon in the swamp, cool and sunshiny. Saw a few squirrels, and some of the spring birds are arriving. Lots of the local residents were busy, too.
