Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Pileated woodpecker
The sky was gray all day and quite dark at one point, but there were only a couple of brief showers. However, the temperature, which was comfortable at breakfast, dropped steadily down into the 50s. Wind gusts made it even colder. A bluebird showed up at breakfast and returned throughout the day. Yellow flag iris opened. White throats dallied but arrived for lunch. Carolina wrens also visited then. I saw the pair flirting under a chair. The cardinals were courting too. After lunch, the female pileated woodpecker came for suet. She dropped lots of crumbs to the delight of little birds.
