Hairy woodpecker
Jun. 1st, 2005 10:36 pmJust one pic tonight so I hope y'all will forgive me for not using a cut.
My last two times at the railtrail park, I've seen this sweet thing at precisely the same location. Well, mostly I've heard her-- she clearly has nested in one of the trees right beside the trail, and defends her territory quite loudly as long as I'm within 50 feet or so. She starts with loud single CHIRPS and escalates to rapid CHIRPETY CHIRPETY CHIRP CHIRPETY CHIRPETY CHIRP CHIRPETY CHIRPETY CHIRP as I get closer.
