30 Days in the Hole


I went out to the patio after I got home tonight and waited and waited and waited with no woodpeckers to be seen, not babes nor adults. I went very close to the tree and could not hear a thing—not a wheeze, not a kek-kek-kek (the babies have graduated to adult sounds, you understand). I was heartbroken to have missed seeing them go. I might have even shed a tear or two or a hundred as I sat there. So imagine my great joy when after about 25 minutes, a wee head poked out!
