Winter Guests

Somewhere in the neighborhood a new, but somewhat noisy family has come to spend the winter. It is a family of woodpeckers and they like to hammer on my roof on occasion causing the cats to leap to the window in hunting mode and the dog to jump up and bark! However one of their very favorite places is at the top of an old hydro pole at the back of my yard where daddy woodpecker appears to give lessons on bug hunting in dead logs to baby woodpecker. Today I finally managed to get to the back yard with my camera before the baby had flown off, but dad was already several trees away yelling indignantly little one to follow.
