One lone woodpecker is sighted back in February as Heather and I take an early morning walk in the softly falling snow. He blends in rather well with his surroundings, but his pecking alerted us to his presence and the photo opt. Other than the odd chickadee, and of course the crows, we haven't seen many birds yet. Surely the warmer temps and nicer days will soon see their return.


Heather stood in the clearing where Gene's house 'may' eventually be built and watched the sun breaking through the clouds and snow.
