Is it spring? We should have 20′ of snow in our front yard and yet, there’s only dirt. We have birds everywhere, everywhere, with many being spring migrants. The Red-shafted Flickers are all over the neighborhood rapidly tapping on the metal chimneys which sounds like machine gun fire. The males do this in their attempts to attract a mate. What gives?
Few, the year isn’t flying by as fast as I feared. The White-headed Woodpeckers (a female pictured here) and Hairy Woodpeckers still have white heads. What does that mean? They aren’t drilling in the firs yet, creating nesting cavaties. When they do that, their beautiful white heads turn rasberry colored, stained with the sap.
I’ve been hard at work all week making sure my programs for Photoshop World (only the GREATEST show on earth!) are all polished and ready to go. While it’s almost two weeks away, I’m out of here tomorrow, off to shoot in TX for a week. While I might be stuck at my desk, I still keep shooting. This photo was taken from my desk, shooting out the open window. Wait, it’s March, it should be freezing with the window open. May be it is spring?
