Here’s a quick intro to an amazing capture right before I released him! Starring me and a young red-headed woodpecker, who wants nothing more than to destroy my hand and go back to acorns.
(Both of his wishes came true, as a matter of fact. An hour later I came back to see him on his larder, faithful as always).
the tags on my woodpecker posts make me so happy you guys are great and I am glad the world understands that birds are just very mad most of the time
So this went, uh, a little viral, and I’m cracking up seeing a pretty fair response division between “So soothing, I love the ocean” and “JESUS FUCK MY ANXIETY IS THROUGH THE ROOF.”
And then somewhere in the middle there’s:
a flock of bushtits on the suet feeder today! they’re tiny, hardly bigger than a hummingbird.
