~~🐦🐦⬛🪶 “Many critics are like woodpeckers, who, instead of enjoying the fruit and shadow of a tree, hop incessantly around the trunk, pecking holes in the bark to discover some little worm or other." ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
________________~~🦅🕊️
Hammering echoes
through the woodlands; they chisel
rectangular holes
🪶
Big, crow-sized bodies
their laughing calls inspired
Woody Woodpecker's

Cute stuff Sweet Bill! 🥰
to think-- I am delighted to have seen pileated woodpeckers 5 times... loved how the 'chisel angular notes"
When I go to Alnwick I see and hear lots of Woodpeckers, thank you for sharing
