Downy Woodpecker, (from Google)



So I couldn't wait, here's what she would look like if I ever get a good pic.

I should mention that last weekend I was on the computer and out of the corner of my left eye saw something flash across the yard at an incredible rate of speed. Then I saw a cat, um... well no nice way to put it, tearing something apart. Michelle feels like an accomplice to murder as she is luring birds to their doom. It is really, just nature taking it's course. At Bob's sisters house, on New Years' Day, I saw a huge hawk land on a branch of the tree holding the bird feeder. Apparently he visits, shops, eats and leaves! I say "smart hawk." Mich says "lazy hawk." At my house, no hawks... yet, just a grey and white cat.

I love all our birds, well, I tolerate the pigeons as there are only 4 of them. I saw the cardinals and the jays today. I heard the woodpeckers. The dark eyed junco, nuthatch and mourning doves are all accounted for. Sparrows we're having a sale on!

Now back to the cat. I hope, by sheer numbers if he comes back, bird shopping, he gets a sparrow. I know that's mean but hey remember "God has his eye upon the sparrow," the woodpeckers only have me and I haven't even set my eyes upon them!
